BEIJING, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) — Promoting women's all-round development is of great significance as a national campaign in China, according to a white paper titled "China's Achievements in All-Round Development of Women's Affairs in the New Era" released Friday by the State Council Information Office.
The document notes that China continues to strengthen institutional support and guarantees for women's interests, which is an integral part of public administration, contributing to the creation of the necessary conditions for the comprehensive development of women.
The White Paper states that China has established a mechanism for work related to women's development, in which CPC committees exercise leadership, governments assume primary responsibility, working committees for children and women play a coordinating role, women's federations cooperate, and relevant departments provide support, with the participation of the whole society.
“These concerted efforts ensure gender equality in all areas of social and economic development and in all aspects of public life,” the document notes.
People's congresses strengthened legislation and oversight for women's development. The government developed and implemented a program for women's development in China and held meetings on related work. A gender statistics monitoring system was established, covering over 2,400 indicators. Furthermore, gender was included as a key indicator in the national population census and time-use surveys.
The White Paper states that China's national development plan clearly defines strategic objectives for women's development. Furthermore, China's women's development program also outlines step-by-step goals for improving women's status.
China has established a legal system based on the Constitution, encompassing over 100 laws and regulations, dominated by the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests. China also ruthlessly combats illegal and criminal activities that infringe on the personal rights of women and girls, the White Paper states.
China is committed to conducting targeted public education on gender equality in all aspects and through all channels, raising awareness of gender equality in the media, and building a clean cyberspace. -0-
