Country advancing women's well-rounded development

A white paper titled "China's Achievements in Women's Well-Rounded Development in the New Era", published by the State Council Information Office on Friday, presents a comprehensive account of the country's historic progress in advancing women's rights under the leadership of the Communist Party of China since 2012.

Gender equality has been incorporated into the Party's governance program and integrated into national development plans more closely since that year. This has helped to ensure that women's issues are addressed within the broader framework of the country's modernization.

The achievements outlined in the white paper are remarkable. The rising proportion of women among Party delegates, lawmakers, government officials and political advisers at various levels directly reflects the commitment to ensuring women have an equal role in the country's whole-process people's democracy.
