​WOMEN AND CULTURE

[CHẾ ĐỘ MẪU HỆ] - [MATRIARCHY]

Matriarchy has imprinted the timeless image of Vietnamese women in human’s consciousness albeit many ups and downs in centuries. Perchance, these milestones are the precedence of literature works that honor women with deepest adoration?

[NỮ QUYỀN QUA GÓC NHÌN VĂN HÓA] - [FEMINISM THROUGH CULTURAL LENS]

Feminism is not a rivalry with men, or a promotion of misandry, rather, it is letting women break free from the stereotypes that society and even themselves have associated women with.

The responsibilities of looking after and providing for the family are placed on the shoulders of every member in the family. Each and every family member’s sacrifice and dedication is needed in the process of building a healthy family.

[QUYỀN LÀM CHỦ THÂN THỂ CỦA NGƯỜI PHỤ NỮ] - [BODILY AUTONOMY OF WOMEN]

Strong women, don't be afraid, instead, stand up and fight for yourself since your body should be in your command.  Scream "MY BODY, MY CHOICE" with pride.
