Protecting the rights and interests of women and children with the power of the rule of law

2025-03-13   

During this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the protection of women's and children's rights has become a hot topic of social concern. Some representatives and members who participated in the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference proposed to further improve the mechanism for combating the crime of trafficking in women and children, some brought suggestions for building a fertility friendly society, and some provided suggestions to enhance the professional level of juvenile justice work... People often say that women are "half the sky", and children are the hope of the motherland and the future of the nation. From top-level design to social practice, we have seen that with the joint efforts of all parties, the development environment for women and children continues to be optimized and improved, and the protection of legitimate rights and interests is constantly implemented. For example, in recent years, the third historical resolution of the Communist Party of China has included "emphasizing the construction of family education and family traditions, and safeguarding the rights and interests of women and children"; More than 40% of the employed population in the whole society are women, and their education level continues to improve; The continuous improvement of children's health status, the increasing level of education, and the further improvement of child protection mechanisms have all written vivid annotations for the development of women and children's cause. The rule of law is the cornerstone of maintaining social justice and an important force in safeguarding the rights and interests of women and children. For example, from clarifying the system of joint property between spouses, to affirming the value of women's household chores, the economic compensation system for divorce, and prohibiting domestic violence, the Civil Code stipulates that both spouses have equal rights and obligations in marriage and family. At present, based on the Constitution, with the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests and the Law on the Protection of Minors as the main body, including more than 100 laws and regulations, the legal system for the protection of women's and children's rights and interests is constantly improving and perfecting. These legal systems provide clear regulations on the focal issues of widespread social concern, and their protective role for women and children has gradually become apparent. Safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of women and children is related to the happiness of thousands of households and the harmony and stability of society. For a period of time, individual incidents of women and children being violated have pricked the sensitive nerves of the general public, triggering widespread attention and reflection. The law alone is not enough. A good legal system exists, but illegal and criminal behavior will not automatically disappear due to the emergence of a system. Illegal and criminal activities such as employment discrimination, denigration of women's personality, and domestic violence occur from time to time. Issues such as divorce, hiding and competing for children, minors' addiction to the internet, and drug abuse are troubling some families. These pain points and difficulties in the protection of women's and children's rights indicate that more efforts are needed in law enforcement, judiciary, and legal education. The work of safeguarding the rights and interests of women and children should be done on a regular basis, carried out frequently, and implemented at the grassroots level. Relevant departments should deeply implement the development plan for women and children, enhance their comprehensive quality, and actively create conditions and platforms for women to participate in economic and social development. The political and legal organs shoulder the important responsibility of safeguarding the rights and interests of women and children in accordance with the law. While punishing illegal and criminal acts that infringe on the rights and interests of women and children in accordance with the law, they should also strengthen crime prevention and governance work, so that potential offenders dare not easily cross the legal red line. At the same time, we will extend the functions of the judiciary, strengthen the promotion of the rule of law, innovate ways to resolve family disputes, and strive to make respect for women and care for children a prevailing trend in the whole society. The protection of women's and children's rights is a complex social system project that requires the participation of the entire society. Every family should attach importance to the construction of family civilization, by safeguarding the happiness and harmony of the "small family" and maintaining the harmony and stability of the "everyone". To promote the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, women are an important force and children are the future force. A continuously modernizing China will undoubtedly provide a broader stage for women and children to showcase their talents. Solidly carrying out key tasks for women and children, and using the power of the rule of law to better protect "half of the sky" and care for "you, the youth", can make every woman brave the wind and waves, and let every child set sail with their dreams.
