Where will the 12th Chinese Women’s Congress be held in the second half of 2018?

The 12th National Congress of Chinese Women will be held in Beijing in the second half of 2018. It is understood that the 12th National Congress of Chinese Women reviewed and approved the work report of the 11th Executive Committee of the All-China Women's Federation, revised the "Articles of Association of the All-China Women's Federation", and elected the 12th Executive Committee of the All-China Women's Federation.

According to reports, the transformation of the village (community) Women’s Congress into the Women’s Federation is an important reform measure for the Women’s Federation to strengthen its grassroots strength. This move aims to change the past situation where most grassroots women's congresses only have one woman director to do women's work, solve the problems of weak organizational foundation of grassroots women's federations, insufficient manpower and limited means to contact and serve women, and attract outstanding women from all walks of life. Come in and become an executive committee member of the Women's Federation, thereby extending the reach of women's work to wider areas.

For more than a year, women's federations in various regions have vigorously carried out reforms such as village and community "meeting reform federations", regionalization of township women's federation organizations, and flexible establishment of grassroots women's federation organizations. As of the end of October last year, more than 510,000 villages and communities and more than 33,000 towns and towns across the country had completed reforms, and nearly 5.6 million new women's federation executive members had been added, effectively solving the "inverted pyramid" problem of work force and complementing the grassroots organizations. We should build weak links and break the past situation of "a thousand threads above and a needle below" and form a new pattern of "a thousand threads above, a net below and a home for women".
