At this event, union members listened to interesting talks about gender equality, methods of preventing family violence and reports summarizing the activities of “DTU Women Excel at Home and at Work - 2009/10”. DTU has over 305 female staff, of whom 50% are lecturers. This workforce has played an important role in implementing the policies of DTU in recent years.
There are 180 staff members registered in the union so far, including 109 highly qualified women of whom 71 were recognized for by their outstanding contribution to both work and family. This is a remarkably high number for women working at DTU.
Mr. Nguyen Duc Thanh commends DTU’s Talented Women.
Mr. Nguyen Duc Thanh, Chairman of DTU Labor Union said "As well as implementing the Talented Women program, the Danang Labor Union, DTU plans to launch a second program entitled 'Active and Creative Women in Education, Working to Build a Happy Home' which will be considered as one of the main criteria for evaluating union members at the end of the academic year.”
This is an annual DTU Labor Union activity to inspire the indomitable, glorious tradition of Vietnamese women in 1980s and, more recently, the women of DTU.
