         <description><![CDATA[<div>The photo shows China that attaches to international exchanges and cooperation in the field of women. The conference's subject, "Accelerating Gender Equality and Empowerment of All Women and Girls," commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration in 2020. The meaning of the Beijing Declaration demonstrates the Chinese women's cause has achieved a historic leap in leading the development of women worldwide, contributing Chinese plans and strength to the women's movement across the world. It calls for the full emancipation of women in economic, political, civil, health, and interpersonal realms. The anniversary is a wake-up call when the COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating pre-existing inequalities. Although much work remains to be done in delivering on the promise of the Beijing Declaration, which remains a global framework and a powerful source of mobilisation, civil society activism, guidance and inspiration.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Period poverty in China and how one group of girls aims to end it–a school at a time</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Sanitary napkin poverty still affects most parts of the world. Taking China as an example, the value-added tax rate of sanitary napkins in China is 13%, while the value-added tax rate of pet food is 9%, which means that Chinese women will pay an additional 4% tax rate for each sanitary napkin purchased, which is equivalent to a disguised "pink tax".<br>To improve women's menstrual poverty and low economic status of women, such as the "pink tax", requires government departments and charitable organizations to jointly carry out poverty alleviation campaigns and policy support. Take Canada and Australia as an example. Canada and Australia have achieved complete tax exemption for sanitary pads, and most countries are reducing the tax rate on sanitary pads.<br>This article was chosen as the focus because Menstrual poverty for the average menstruating woman exemplifies a problem: the "pink tax" and excess spending by women relative to men. Women in less developed regions spend an average of 120 yuan more per year on a fixed basis (even when using cheap sanitary pads). However, the average price of electronic razors for men is only 30-60 yuan, and they can be used for a long time. This shows that there are still bottlenecks in the economic development of developing countries led by China, and the tax and fee problem is serious, and it is necessary to reduce taxes and fees to solve the "pink tax" and women's consumption equality.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Do Women in China Face Greater Inequality than Women Elsewhere?</title>
         <author>landedptyltd</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/landedptyltd/socialpolicies/wish/2139168380</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This link provides strong data and text to show that the status of women in China is improving, and that this progress has been driven by Chinese social policies. The data also shows that although gender equality in China has improved in the context of modernisation, it still lags behind some developed countries in terms of ranking. This link was chosen not only because it provides a visual representation of the efforts made by China's social policies to promote gender equality, but also because it allows a comparison to be made with other countries in order to identify the specific areas where the gaps lie.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The video illustrates that the issue of gender equality has been widely mainstreamed into policy-making in China, that the legal and policy system to protect women's rights and interests has been further improved, that new initiatives to promote gender equality have been introduced in various regions, that "her power" continues to show new achievements in various sectors, and that new progress and achievements in the cause of women and children are evident to all. At the same time, the video also shows that the issue of violence against women still requires constant attention, and that gender stereotypes that discriminate against women continue to be perpetuated in new media platforms. This video is a good illustration of China's relentless efforts to improve gender equality in society in the new multimedia environment.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Zhang Guimei – woman fighting for girls&#39; education in China</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This video shows that there are still people fighting for women's educational rights. Despite the popularization of nine-year compulsory education in China and more and more policies to improve basic education, there are still women who cannot receive education in impoverished areas. Zhang Guimei came to the depths of the mountain to open a free high school for local women. She firmly believes that a girl's education can change three generations. The video is a good example of Zhang's efforts to improve women's education in China, so that more girls can change their destiny.</div>]]></description>

         <title>The current situation of women&#39;s decision-making power in China</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/landedptyltd/socialpolicies/wish/2140902105</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>The article describes how women's status improves, but gender inequality persists. The report also details women's progress in economic opportunity and political resources and their challenges. Using both macro and microdata, we can see that Chinese women have become more equal economically and politically, which means that women participate in more job opportunities and earn higher incomes and more prestigious careers. In the more resourceful state of the city, the status of women has improved. But in places where resources are relatively scarce, such as villages, women's resource allocation is still much lower than men's. This means that, with the government's strong support, although the status of women has improved, the improvement needs to be strengthened. The government should encourage businesses to adopt jobs that are more adapted to women's family functions.</div>]]></description>

         <title>The embodiment of Chinese women in Climate Change</title>
         <author>yyibing</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/landedptyltd/socialpolicies/wish/2141059281</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article analyses the role of women in weather change from a gender perspective. It adopts all feasible measures that lay the groundwork for China to integrate gender awareness into climate change policies. The under-representation of women has not led to the complete absence of gender in climate change policies. Many of China's climate protection policies are reflected in women, such as Sustainable Development in China in the Early 21st Century, which is ahead of the importance of disease prevention and health care for women and children to promote development. In China, women are more involved in daily life than men, so women often control household-level tools to combat climate change when dealing with temperature changes and food and water shortages. In general, women of different positions experience climate disasters in different ways in Different Positions, so the way they respond is other. Only a human-centred approach combined with gender will help involve women in the formulation of China's climate change policy and may also drive China's domestic response to climate change and lead the global response to climate change.</div>]]></description>

         <title>China&#39;s legal guarantees for women&#39;s development</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article investigates how gender stereotypes prevalent among Chinese men and women have a systematic negative influence on women in the workplace. It can make people aware of some of the direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, protective discrimination and occupational gender segregation that exists against working women in China. Now, China has passed a series of legislation based on the constitutional concept of gender equality to reduce the hurdles that women encounter in effectively participating in the labour market. There are also a number of separate national laws and regulations, as well as local regulations and administrative norms. The evolution of these pieces of legislation reflects the many obstacles that women have encountered in the workplace in various eras, and the progressiveness and efficacy of laws should be evaluated in the context in which they are employed.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Gender equality and women’s empowerment</title>
         <author>sealottbaby</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/landedptyltd/socialpolicies/wish/2142197460</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>Gender equality is a fundamental human right. Women have the right to live in dignity, free from poverty and fear. It is also a prerequisite for promoting development and reducing poverty. Empowering women contributes to the health and productivity of entire families and communities and lays the foundation for future economic development. Although China has made some progress in addressing gender inequality, gender-based violence, various forms of harmful practices and discrimination persist.<br>In China, a strong patriarchal cultural tradition, coupled with the use of modern technology and declining total fertility rates, has led to gender-biased sex selection (GBSS), which in turn has led to persistently skewed sex ratios at birth (SRB). Distorted SRBs have far-reaching effects on a societal and personal level. Gender disproportion, including the golden age of marriage, results in more men than potential female partners in the marriage market, large gender demographic gaps, discrimination and violence against women, and violations of women's right to work.<br>How to get rid of these discriminatory behaviors and gender inequalities against women requires long-term policy and legal support from government departments. For example, in response to the current domestic violence in Chinese families, the Chinese government has introduced the Anti-Domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China as legal support for the majority of women. The "Special Provisions on Labor Protection for Female Employees" clearly requires employers to prevent and stop sexual harassment of female employees. Only by continuously improving women's rights protection mechanisms from the institutional and legal levels can gender inequality in Chinese society be gradually reduced or eliminated.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Women and Health: Reflections on the Beijing+20 Platform for Action</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/landedptyltd/socialpolicies/wish/2142242421</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This picture illustrates that inequalities between men and women as well as women are barriers to achieving the highest standards of health for women, and only addressing these inequalities can guarantee women an equal right to health and a voice in the life cycle. Although women's medical health guarantees in China have been greatly improved, this includes some rights to treatment and reimbursement of expenses. However, because of some traditional concepts, the phenomenon of harm caused by women in the reproductive process is still widespread. GBV is an area of concern, including some mechanisms to screen for GBV. These are the parts that Chinese government departments focus on promoting women's health. Only when government departments focus on improving women's health will there be more institutions to create an environment to meet women's health needs.</div>]]></description>
