Program Launched to Help Women

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate and All-china Women’s Federation launched a program to provide legal aid for women in need, which will run till the end of this year.

This program targets five groups of women: those at risk of slipping back into poverty, victims of domestic violence, abduction and sex crimes, sole providers of their families, women of poor health or with disabilities, elderly women without a family or whose family cannot support them.

For women who still face difficulties after judicial remedies are implemented, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and Allchina Women’s Federation will coordinate with other authorities to provide targeted help. A monthly meeting mechanism will be put in place to share aid information, solve prominent problems, and hence better protect the legitimate rights and interests of women.
