Xi Jinping’s remarks at the first Global Women’s Summit in September 2015. Xi said that “women are creators of both material and spiritual civilisation, and are an important force driving social development and progress.” He declared that “the environment for women’s survival and development has been continuously improved.” However, he also acknowledged that “in the face of rampant terrorism and violence, women have suffered greatly. Even today, various forms of discrimination against women still exist, and incidents of abuse and even torture of women continue to occur.”
To address this, one of Xi’s proposed solutions was to “actively safeguard women’s rights and interests.” He stated, “Women’s rights are fundamental human rights. We must incorporate the protection of women’s rights into our legal and regulatory systems, elevate it to a matter of national will, and internalise it as a social code of conduct.” He further emphasised that China must “guarantee basic medical and health services for women, with special attention to the needs of rural women, women with disabilities, migrant women, middle-aged and elderly women, and women from ethnic minorities,” and that “every woman and child should bask in the sunshine of happiness and peace.”
After reviewing the global situation, Xi then turned to the Chinese Communist Party’s policies toward women, stating that “in the Chinese people’s pursuit of a better life, every woman has the opportunity to shine in her life and realise her dreams.” He also pledged that “China will continue to actively implement the fundamental national policy of gender equality, supporting women in achieving success in their careers and fulfilling their personal aspirations.”
