Chinanews, Aug. 24 - Gu Xiulian, vice chairman of the Standing Committee
of the National People's Congress (NPC) and chairperson of the All-China
Women's Federation, said openly that more and more Chinese women
participate in management of state and social affairs. A large number of
excellent women have joined in authoritative organs of various levels.
At the press conference held today by the Information Office of the State
Council, Gu said that at present, 9 women are leaders of the Communist
Party of China or the central government; 25 women act as
ministerial-level officials in the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme
People's Procuratorate and the State Council. Female officials account
for 9.9% of total provincial (ministerial)-level officials. Among the
in-service mayors (commissioners, prefecture governors) of 397 cities
(regions, prefectures), 368 are female. Female representatives take up
over 20% of NPC representatives.
Gu added that since the 4th World Conference on Women was held, China has
strictly adhered to its commitment to the international society and
"regarded gender equality as a basic state policy to promote its social
development". The country has adopted a series of effective measures and
made remarkable achievements in perfecting laws and policies, improving
organizations and organs, and strengthening operational mechanisms to
boost gender equality and development of women.
