The Women's Union of Liên Chiểu ward is running a "zero-dong áo dài" booth today, Sunday, October 18, from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to Báo Đà Nẵng.

The booth sits in the seaside park at the Nguyễn Tất Thành and Nguyễn An Ninh intersection. It offers 400 áo dài donated by women members in the ward, and the dresses are free for women in difficult circumstances who want one. The report mentions no registration, eligibility check or sizing details.

The union says the booth is meant to ease living costs and encourage community support. It also marks the 96th anniversary of the Vietnam Women's Union, founded on October 20, 1930.

Because the number is fixed at 400 and the booth is a one-day event, it is worth going early. Anyone with questions about sizes or who qualifies should ask the ward's Women's Union on site.
