The festival is one of the activities of the project “Promoting the Role of Hanoi Women in Building a Peaceful and Innovative City in the 2023-2026 period”, approved by the Hanoi People's Committee.
The event also marks the start of significant activities by the capital's women to celebrate the 114th anniversary of International Women's Day on March 8, the 25th anniversary of Hanoi's designation as a UNESCO City of Peace, and the 70th anniversary of the capital's Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 - October 10, 2024).
