Like Chinese women

　　We are fighting against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The majority of female medical staff, disease control personnel, scientific and technical personnel, community workers, volunteers, etc. are fighting hard day and night, staying at the front line of epidemic prevention and control, and protecting lives with diligence and wisdom. , A magnificent poem that saves lives.

We want to praise them.

　　At the most critical moment of China's fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic,

it is precisely thousands of such Chinese women who have interpreted the benevolence of doctors with courage and hard work, and they have exchanged their responsibility and dedication for everything.

China claims

Helping women get rid of the impact of the epidemic

　　Attention should be paid to the physical health, social and psychological needs, and working environment of front-line female medical workers.

Let gender equality be implemented

　　We must eliminate prejudice, discrimination, and violence against women, and make gender equality truly a code of conduct and value standard that the entire society follows.

Promote women to be at the forefront of the times

　　We must persist in safeguarding women's rights and interests in development, improve women's livelihoods through development, and realize the simultaneous development of women's undertakings and economic society.

Strengthen global women's cause cooperation

　　China supports the United Nations to prioritize women’s work, increase investment in eliminating violence, discrimination, poverty and other old issues, and make a difference in addressing new challenges such as the gender digital divide, making women’s goals an early harvest of the 2030 Agenda.

Chinese actions and initiatives

　　Gender equality is China's basic national policy.

　　China has established a comprehensive legal system that includes more than 100 laws and regulations to protect women's rights and interests.

　　The gender gap in compulsory education has been basically eliminated, and the proportion of women employed in the whole society is more than 40%.

　　Five years ago, we initiated a global women's summit and put forward a series of global cooperation initiatives, which have been fully implemented.
