Changes, if any, will be constantly updated on the Miss Universe Viet  Nam’s official website and Facebook fanpage.

The organiser is also launching a digital series called “Vinawoman – Ban linh Viet Nam” (Vinawoman – Viet Nam’s courage) to help find Miss Universe Vietnam 2021’s winners.

Part of the Woman Talk Viet Nam project, the series will be aired on the project’s Facebook fanpage and UNI NETWORK’s Youtube channel at 8:00pm every Saturday, starting October 2. It aims to raise public awareness of gender equality and women’s empowerment through forums, dialogues and debates among successful and inspiring women of various ages.

Moderators of the series will be Miss Universe Vietnam winners and runner-ups, including Miss Universe Vietnam 2018 H’Hen Nie, Miss Universe Vietnam 2019 Nguyen Tran Khanh Van and her first runner-up Kim Duyen, and Miss Universe Viet Nam 2010’s first runner-up Vu Hoang My, among others.

A representative from the organiser said the series wants to help women raise their voices and opinions and have profound influence on different areas, such as education, economy, women’s rights, politics, and sustainable development.
