2024 marks the 6th year the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union has organized the competition, with this year’s theme being "Women in Creative Startups and Green Transformation." The competition garnered significant attention from women across the country, with an increase in both scale and quality. This event serves to honor the tireless efforts and contributions of women in various areas of social life, highlighting their essential role in the nation's construction and development.

The 2024 Vietnam Women's Award recognized four outstanding collectives and 11 individuals from such fields as education, healthcare, culture, armed forces, Party and mass organizations, social and professional organizations, enterprises, and workers.

To further promote the women’s startup and movements, Mr. Nguyen Duc Hai urged ministries, sectors, and localities to collaborate with the Vietnam Women's Union to finalize and present the support project for women’s startups for the 2026-2035 period to the Government. He also called on the Union to continue offering guidance and support for women in startup and economic development, and to recognize exemplary women across all fields, contributing to women's progress and gender equality.
