Chinese women's federations urged to advance institutional reform

BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor and All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) President Shen Yiqin on Thursday called for continued reform of women's federations.

Speaking at an expanded meeting of the ACWF Standing Committee, Shen said advancing reform of women's federations is both a key mandate from the third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee and essential to mobilizing women's strength in advancing Chinese modernization.

Shen highlighted actions to strengthen political orientation and grassroots presence of women's organizations, and maintain their progressive nature.

She urged the federations to reinforce organizational networks, expand diverse working teams, improve cadre competence, and facilitate a shift in working style. Enditem
