Beijing, September 19 (Xinhua) — The State Council Information Office of China on Friday published a white paper titled "China's Achievements in the All-Round Development of Women's Affairs in the New Era." It highlights the significant benefits enjoyed by Chinese women as a result of the country's large-scale anti-poverty campaign.
According to the White Paper, women, who make up approximately half of the poor in China, have benefited from targeted programs that allocate funds and resources, including project organization, cash use, and household-specific interventions.
The white paper highlights China's efforts to improve access for poor women to basic health care, compulsory education, government subsidies, basic food and clothing, and housing.
A dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanism has been established to prevent any relapse into poverty. Furthermore, support for women who have escaped poverty and women from low-income rural areas is being maintained to develop their production, expand employment opportunities, and increase their incomes, according to the White Paper.
China is leveraging new forms of business and industry, including poverty alleviation programs in sectors such as e-commerce, photovoltaic technology, and tourism, to help low-income women find employment close to home. In areas populated by ethnic minorities, the transformation of the hand-weaving industry from a purely traditional craft to one that is now a significant factor in the local economy has had a profound impact on the lives of female embroiderers of the Miao and Yi ethnic groups.
China has also increased financial support for women living in poverty. According to the white paper, a total of over 450 billion yuan (approximately $63.27 billion) in guaranteed microloans and microcredits for poverty alleviation have been provided to needy women, and 8.7 million impoverished women have increased their incomes through entrepreneurship.
As of 2020, various vocational training programs were organized for a total of 10.21 million women and technicians in need. Between 2023 and 2024, 632,000 women received vocational training through the Rain and Dew program, enabling them to continue their journey out of poverty.
In addition, China has made significant progress in infrastructure development, which has fundamentally addressed the problems of transportation, electricity, water, and communications that limit women's development in poor areas. -0-
