Nation puts women's issues in focus

Sharing experience

The nation has also shared its development experience and capacity building for women, helping to further empower them, according to experts.

China Women's University has put forward training sessions and seminars to 737 officials from 72 developing countries, with another 120 postgraduate students from 33 nations being offered degrees on women's leadership and social development.

Li Ying, the dean, said a key part of the programs is showcasing the important roles women can play in social and economic growth, along with the ways in which they can protect their rights from being violated.

Participants in the programs hold discussions with Chinese female entrepreneurs, officials, leaders of social organizations and those chairing women's federations. They learn about the nation's favorable policies on women's empowerment, including micro credits, free breast and cervical cancer screenings, and diagnostic services.
