In 2024, the nation celebrates the 70th anniversary of the resounding Dien Bien Victory on May 7, 1954. This is the victory of the entire Vietnamese people and army in their nine-year resistance war against the French, leading to the Geneva Accords returning peace in Indochina.

On December 19, 1946, responding to President Ho Chi Minh's call for nationwide resistance, the entire Party, army, and the people of Vietnam entered the war against the French invaders.

With the slogan "All for the front line, all for victory", the main army units quickly open mountain roads, towing artillery, and building battlefields,.. The people of Vietnam worked in a fiery spirit for the Dien Bien Phu front.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of women who were civil servants, volunteers, nurses, orderlies.., headed to Dien Bien Phu to serve the campaign. In the locality, women also replaced men to shoulder the burden of housework. They worked day and night to provide food for the battlefield.

Out of the 18 campaigns of the resistance war against the French colonialists, women contributed 9,578,000 working days. In the Dien Bien Phu campaign alone, women contributed over 2,000,000 workdays. As President Ho Chi Minh once commented: "In our nation's great resistance war, our women are shouldering an important part."
