Plan International Vietnam's Country Director, Ms. Sharon Kane, shared: "The campaign aims towards creating a diverse network of local voices and influencers to undertake impactful campaigns on positively shifting gender norms. I am delighted to learn that this competition has engaged over 100,000 participants in just over two weeks. It highlights that there is a growing group of knowledgeable people who are 'Thanh niên chuẩn' - who say no to gender norms".

Accompanying the campaign were Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 H'Hen Nie. "I believe that thoughts lead on to action. And if we have confidence in our actions, then the judgment of others will not matter anymore. There are actions and thoughts that will make a big change", she said.

Within the event, the organizers also kicked off the third phase and forth phase of the campaign named "Career defined by choice, not by gender" and "Women can also be successful leaders".
