“Chinese women believe that no country can have a bright future if its women are oppressed,” Feng Yuan writes. Now is the time for the government to make sure their voices are actually heard, she argues WorldAhead
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskChinese women have long been told that they are equal with men, and used to feel relatively safe. But now this feeling is fading. They are angry not only about the physical violence against them, but also about the way the authorities respond to such incidents. Officials may eventually act against the perpetrators but only after huge public outcries. They do little to support women’s daily rights on the ground.
In 2023 China will bring in a revised law on the protection of women’s rights. The revisions are a big improvement, but the law still does not come close to fulfilling China’s commitment to the terms of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women , to which the country is a signatory.
Will women feel safer in 2023? This is unlikely. On the one hand, women are more willing to seek help now. However, we are getting more hate speech and misogynistic pushback from Chinese men who accuse us of creating confrontation between the sexes, demanding a superior status over them and being manipulated by hostile foreign forces.
