All branches of the union expect to attract over 60 per cent of total women living in the areas. All full-time staff of the unions are proficient in basic computing.

Regarding the key tasks during the 2022-2027 tenure, the union targets to support the comprehensive development of women, to build a prosperous, happy, progressive and civilised Vietnamese family.
