More than 1,400 women (and a handful of men) filled the Great Hall of the People in Beijing yesterday for the opening session of the 10th National Women's Congress.

The five-day event, which is held every five years, serves as a platform for Chinese women from all walks of life to make their voices heard on a diverse range of political and social issues.

In an opening address made on behalf of the Politburo, He Guoqiang, head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said: "Women have always been an irreplaceable force in driving reform and development."
