Hey news fans! 🚀 The Chinese mainland is writing a new chapter in women’s rights with groundbreaking legal changes. Ready to find out? Let’s dive in! 💧
Over the past decade, the Chinese mainland has levelled up its game by strengthening laws around women’s personal and property rights. The Civil Code of the Chinese mainland now features special sections on "Personality Rights" and "Marriage and Family," wrapping women in 360° legal protection. 🎉
Meanwhile, amendments to the Criminal Law of the Chinese mainland cracked down harder on sexual offenses. They hold caregivers accountable for abuse, penalize those who buy trafficked individuals, and increase penalties for rape and sexual abuse of minors. No mercy for misconduct! 👊
2016 marked a milestone with the Anti-Domestic Violence Law—the first specialized law to prevent and punish domestic violence. Provinces have followed suit, rolling out local rules, warning systems, and safety orders. By October 2024, courts issued over 26,000 protection orders—proof that change is happening! 📈
And there’s more: the revised Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests now covers political participation, education, labor rights, and social security. All in all, women gain stronger support both in the courtroom and everyday life. 🌟
To stamp out discrimination at the source, authorities at every level now conduct gender equality assessments whenever they craft or tweak laws and policies. This blueprint ensures that new rules promote true equality from day one. 🏛️✨
From national statutes to local measures, the Chinese mainland’s legal system is leveling up to empower women like never before. Stay tuned as this story of progress continues to unfold! 🌏💜
