On the occasion of the 1985th anniversary of the Hai Ba Trung Uprising, the 115th anniversary of International Women's Day (March 8, 1910 - March 8, 2025), the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Women's Union (1930-2025) and major national holidays in 2025, under the direction of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union, the Vietnam Women's Newspaper organized the event "Ao Dai Parade and Ao Dai Map of Vietnam".

This is also an event in response to "Ao Dai Week" launched nationwide by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union.

Initiated in 2019, "Ao Dai Week" has contributed to inspiring and spreading meaningful, positive messages about love, national pride, the country, people and Vietnamese Ao Dai to the public.

Since then, every March, women across the country have enthusiastically welcomed and organized many diverse and creative activities to honor the value of Vietnamese Ao Dai.

Attending the Ao Dai parade on the morning of March 29 were more than 1,000 women, including: Leaders and officials of the Vietnam Women's Union; officials and members of the Hanoi Women's Union, guests; officials and students of the Vietnam Women's Academy.

In particular, the Ao Dai map of Vietnam was created by 500 female students of the Vietnam Women's Academy in Ao Dai with red flag and yellow star.

Making a map of Vietnam can be seen as a form of visual education, helping people become more aware of their territory, sovereignty and responsibilities.

The activity of hundreds of young people in traditional Vietnamese dress printed with the national flag, forming a map of Vietnam is not only a symbol of solidarity but also an affirmation of the important role of women's forces in preserving and developing the country.

Each piece of the map represents each person, each region, and when we all join hands, we create a strong and resilient Vietnam.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Huong, Vice President of the Vietnam Women's Union said: "The Ao Dai parade and the map of Vietnam formation by students are special highlights of this year's event.

We believe that when wearing the traditional ao dai, you not only honor the beauty of national culture but also feel more clearly the pride of continuing good values."

Through many periods of development, the ao dai adds to the beauty of gentle and elegant Asian women.

Although the ao dai is constantly changing and innovating, it still maintains its traditional character, contributing to enhancing the beauty of Vietnamese women.

Vietnamese women are proud of the Vietnamese ao dai and the Vietnamese ao dai is continuing on the journey to affirm its role and position in the social community, with Vietnamese women firmly entering a new era, an era of national growth.
