University, Association Help Workers Improve Ability to Combat Domestic Violence
August 29, 2023
To promote implementation of China's Law Against Domestic Violence (which took effect on March 1, 2016), China Women's University and the China Society for the Studies of Marriage and Family (both of which are administered by the All-China Women's Federation) recently provided training, both online and offline, to workers (involved in fighting domestic violence), from Liaoning, Gansu, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. The event, funded by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), was intended to help the workers improve their ability to combat domestic violence. More than 400 people — including workers with women's federations, public security agencies, law enforcement agencies and social organizations, at all levels in the provinces — attended.
Jiang Yue'e, Vice-President and Secretary-General of the China Society for the Studies of Marriage and Family, noted it is arduous, important work to help Chinese both raise their awareness about the importance of combating domestic violence and improve their ability to fight such violence, to prevent domestic violence, and to handle cases involving such violence according to law, so as to protect the legal rights and interests of members of the families (involved in the cases). She also stressed the purpose of the event was to promote the establishment of a work mechanism, through which various organizations cooperate with each other to end domestic violence. She said she believed that, in turn, will promote social harmony and stability.
Le Thi Lan Phuong, Ending Violence against Women and Girls Programme Manager of UN Women China Office, stressed that this dedicated training aims to strengthen the capacity on survivor-centered domestic violence service delivery for provincial-level service providers as well as enhancing institutional capacity on multi-sectoral coordination mechanism on domestic violence response and prevention.
Organizers invited legal experts from and cadres with various organizations (in various regions of the country) to provide lectures, to explain how trainees could improve their work related to both fighting violence and better protecting the legal rights and interests of victims of domestic violence.
