The Vietnam Women’s Union officially launched the movement to build families with five “no’s” and three “clean’s” at a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of Vietnam Family Day (June 28).
At the ceremony held in Ho Chi Minh City on June 26, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Hoang Quan highlighted the enduring traditional family values and affirmed that the family is the nucleus of society.
Quan said family helps maintain the human race and provides an environment for shaping, nourishing and educating personalities, as well as preserving and building on traditional culture, fighting against social evils, and providing human resources for national construction and defence.
Building the family is therefore an important and essential task of all sectors of the country’s political system and the entire society.
However, Quan warned, social evils, domestic violence, divorce, human trafficking, and child abuse affect many families.
Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan quoted sayings by late President Ho Chi Minh about the role of the family and said he welcomed the Vietnam Women’s Union’s initiative to build families based on five “no’s” and three “clean’s”.
The five “no’s” are: no poverty, no legal violation and social evils, no domestic violence, no third child, and no malnourished children or school drop-outs. The three “clean’s” are: clean house, clean kitchen, and clean lane.
