Women get their rightful place in society

By Zou Xiaoqiao | China Daily | Updated: 2013-12-14 07:58

China has made remarkable achievements in promoting women's development and guaranteeing women's human rights since the founding of the People's Republic of China, particularly over the last 35 years.

Before 1949, the overwhelming majority of Chinese women were downtrodden and could never have their basic rights guaranteed and only very few women were involved in society. More than 90 percent of women were illiterate.

With the PRC being founded, women's political, economic, cultural and other rights have been guaranteed by relevant laws, and since the launch of reform and opening-up gender equality has been emphasized as part of all-round social progress, and gender equality has been promoted as a basic national policy to promote China's social development.
