To mark the 76th anniversary of the Vietnam Women’s Union, the Committee for the Advancement of Women of Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) held a seminar on October 19 to discuss the role of VOV women in the development of broadcasting industry.

Speaking at the seminar, VOV Director General Vu Van Hien highlighted the women’s efforts in fulfilling their assigned tasks over the past years, putting forth many initiatives to make radio programmes more diversified and closer to listeners at home and abroad.

Of nearly 2,000-member VOV staff including reporters, editors, technicians, musicians and artists, women account for 40 percent, having made contributions to the development of VOV over the past years as well as in the current period. Especially, together with other VOV staff, women have actively participated in the renovation process with a view to master modern broadcasting technology so that they can bring news with high-quality sound effects as fast as possible to all listeners near and far.

In 2005, the VOV director general presented certificates of merit and emulation titles to more than 150 outstanding women.
