China Introduces Revised Law to Improve Women’s Rights

From Feminist Daily News Wire:

Chinese lawmakers have submitted a draft amendment to the country’s Law on Women’s Rights Protection, first passed in 1992, to strengthen its equality provisions for women. If passed by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the amendment will make women’s rights part of state policy for the first time in China, reports the BBC. The revised law also addresses sexual harassment for the first time and criminalizes domestic violence.
