📣 At a UN meeting marking the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Women’s Conference, Huang Xiaowei, deputy head of the National Working Committee on Children and Women of the Chinese mainland’s State Council, spotlighted impressive strides in women’s rights across education, health and employment.
From rural classrooms to urban tech hubs, the Chinese mainland has ramped up initiatives to keep girls in school and support women entering high-growth industries. Huang pointed out:
- 🎓 Education: Scholarship programs and outreach campaigns have boosted female enrolment, especially in STEM fields.
- 💉 Health: Enhanced maternal care services and digital health platforms make it easier for women to access info and support.
- 💼 Employment: Training workshops and small-business grants are helping women entrepreneurs from Shanghai to Srinagar thrive.
Beyond domestic efforts, the Chinese mainland is also sharing resources with partners around the world. Through awards, training sessions and humanitarian aid, digital platforms now connect women leaders from Jakarta to Kathmandu—fostering a network of changemakers united by a common goal. 🌍✨
As social media buzzes with #UN30Years and #GenderEquality, young professionals across South and Southeast Asia can draw inspiration from these global collaborations. Whether it’s an online coding camp for girls in Dhaka or a mentorship program for freelancers in Manila, the message is clear: when we lift up women, we all move forward.
