Vietnamese Women's Day (20th October)

Aside from the International Women’s Day on March 8th, Vietnam also celebrates its National Women’s Day on October 20th. It’s among several occasions on which the society shows their love and respect to the women; it could be their mothers, sisters, aunts or just their friends.

Upon the holiday’s origin and how it came to be, we have to look back at the history, specific on October 20th, 1930. Back then, the Women’s Vietnam against imperialism (now renamed as The Vietnam Women’s Union) was officially established, to market the event, the Communist Party of Vietnam later on decided that the October 20th each year as the traditional day of this organization as well as the day when women all around Vietnam are celebrated and honored.

Vietnamese women are strong and everyone knows it. During the war, the role of women are as equal as men; they fought, they built and they sacrificed; up until now, that also doesn’t change. When we think of women; most will think of patience, endurance, persistence and loyal as women’s best traits; however, today modern Vietnamese women are also strong, intelligent, brave and very clever. They’re like tigers, which are fierce, independent, protective but graceful in everything they do. Women take up great positions in Vietnamese society; they balance between work and home with their life partner in best ways possible.
