Beijing, November 25 (Xinhua) — Over the past five years, more than 500 defendants in domestic violence cases in China have been sentenced to life imprisonment or harsher punishments, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) announced on Tuesday.
According to the National People's Commissariat, prosecutorial authorities across the country have strengthened their oversight of domestic violence cases to effectively protect women's rights and interests. Since 2021, arrest warrants have been issued for over 2,800 suspects in these crimes, and criminal cases have been initiated against over 3,400 individuals.
"Domestic violence not only violates the legitimate rights and interests of family members, but also undermines public order and morality, causing serious harm to public interests," said Ge Xiaoyan, Deputy Prosecutor General of the People's Republic of China.
The National People's Congress pledged to strengthen its efforts to prosecute crimes against women in accordance with the law and to oversee the implementation of the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests. The agency also pledged to conduct regular campaigns to combat trafficking in women and strictly punish sexual crimes, while supporting civil lawsuits and providing legal assistance to comprehensively protect women's rights.
The revised Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests took effect on January 1, 2023. It provides protection for women across a wide range of areas, including gender equality, employment, and maternity insurance.
