Proactive approach

Although she is no longer young and has many difficulties in using smart devices as well as digital applications such as social networks, e-wallets, online public services, etc., because she does not want to be left out in the context of digital transformation, Ms. Dao Thi Thanh (residing in Quarter 3, Bien Hoa Ward) has proactively studied to catch up with the trend.

Ms. Thanh said: After owning a smartphone, she asked her children and grandchildren to guide her on how to use the smartphone's functions; use social networks like Facebook and Zalo to monitor, share information, and connect with relatives and friends. In addition, in order not to depend on her children when paying electricity and water bills, Ms. Thanh asked her children to install the bank's application and show her how to pay bills by bank transfer. She also self-studied and learned how to use the utilities that an electronic identification account brings...

According to Ms. Thanh, at first when her children instructed her, she could not do it right away, but after her children instructed her a few times and she took the initiative to try it out, she gradually got used to it. Using smart devices and digital applications helps her quickly solve many problems in life.

“Before, every time I paid a bill, I had to go to the payment points, and if I wanted to buy something, I had to go to the store. Now, I can just sit at home and pay all my bills and order online, very convenient,” said Ms. Thanh.

Proactively approaching and learning digital skills not only helps members and women have a more comfortable life, but also helps serve their work better.

As the Party Cell Secretary and Head of Quarter 9, Trung Dung Ward (formerly), now Tran Bien Ward, Ms. Pham Ngoc Ha understands the benefits of technology in solving work. Ms. Ha said: In the current period, information must be updated regularly. Whenever she wants to find information; draft documents or research any documents, she uses ChatGPT to selectively refer to them. However, according to Ms. Ha, it is only a reference channel and she always has to be alert to find official sources to compare. Not only learning to serve herself, she also propagates and guides digital knowledge and skills to those around her.

Widely deploy the Popular Digital Education Movement

Vice President of the Dong Nai Provincial Women's Union Bui Thi Hanh said: Digital transformation is taking place strongly and becoming an inevitable trend. Universalizing digital knowledge for all people, including members and women, especially those who have little access to technology as well as grasping and mastering digital technology is very important.

With the goal of "leaving no one behind" in the digital age, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union has launched the Digital Literacy Movement to raise awareness, encourage individuals to self-study, proactively participate in the digital space, and contribute to the overall development of the country.

In order for the Digital Literacy Movement to come into life and attract a large number of members and women to participate, Vice President of the Provincial Women's Union Bui Thi Hanh said: Women's Unions of communes and wards need to proactively develop plans with content suitable for each subject and local characteristics. Along with that, it is necessary to clearly define goals, targets, tasks, and solutions for each year and stage. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to taking women and people as the center; strengthen coordination with the young force who are good at supporting technology to diversify forms of learning organization. In addition to organizing activities, the union needs to encourage each individual cadre, member, and woman to self-study, proactively participate in the digital space, strive to become a digital citizen, and actively contribute to the development of the homeland and the country.
