In August, a total of 13 important events for women, 9 domestic events and 4 international concerns were collated.
Among them, a middle school lecture said that "sexual harassment is due to girls' coquettishness", and a teacher published a book saying that "girls are the main responsible persons for early love", which caused heated discussions in the society. When it comes to gender education, teachers should pay special attention to the fact that if they do not have a correct and healthy understanding of gender culture, or still adhere to outdated gender ideas, it will cause psychological shadows on students and plant wrong seeds in the growth of children and teenagers.
It can be seen that there is still a long way to go to spread healthy and correct gender culture and sex education.
August 7: A middle school in Guangdong said that "sexual harassment is due to girls' coquettishness", the Education Bureau reported
The content of the mental health education courseware for girls with a teacher at Zhaoqing No. 1 Middle School in Guangdong Province appears: "Sexual harassment is mainly motivated by sexual desire. Many of the victims' experiences are caused by their fancy dress and coquettish behavior. Therefore, as a girl, you should know how to protect yourself, do not wear transparent and nude clothing, and avoid frivolous words and deeds. ”
The courseware caused widespread controversy in early August this year, and netizens considered this statement to be "victim guilt theory". Since then, the Huaiji County Education Bureau issued a statement saying that the lecture courseware had some improper expressions, and the county education bureau had criticized and educated the relevant personnel and ordered the school to rectify.
Courseware content.
China Women's Daily commented that anyone can be harassed, and it is not uncommon for men to encounter sexual harassment and sexual assault. The statement in the courseware that "sexual harassment is mainly stimulated by sexual desire" is even more to make excuses for the perpetrator and describe the crime as natural "sexual desire".
August 11: A minor girl was sexually assaulted in a theater, and the theater involved was sentenced to compensate for moral damage
In October 2022, Wang Moumou sexually assaulted a minor female victim in a one-point broadcast theater, and the court sentenced Wang to five years in prison for rape in accordance with the law.
The on-demand theater involved in the case also had serious negligence. According to the current "Shanghai Technical Requirements and Management Specifications for the Construction of On-Demand Cinemas", on-demand cinemas should take the initiative to inquire about minor customers who may be under the age of 18 by sight, and if there is a situation where minors are not watching movies with their legal guardians, they need to provide the identity information of the minors themselves, their guardians and accompanying persons, and do a good job of detailed registration and filing.
However, the front desk staff of the on-demand cinema did not do the above work when receiving minor victims and adult men to watch the movie, so they did not prevent them and Wang Moumou from entering the theater in time. This has an unshirkable responsibility for the murder of children.
In August 2023, the Changning District People's Court heard the case, and the on-demand theater involved in the case apologized to the victim in court for failing to fulfill its security obligations, and paid the victim a one-time compensation of RMB 35,000 for emotional damage.

It is reported that this view comes from the book "The Way of Class Teacher Cultivation" published by Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House in 2015. The words in the book are: "Once there is a so-called 'early love', girls should be the main responsible person, and they mostly hint or seduce." Because the girls at this time are relatively precocious, the boys are still just children. Understanding the jet lag of physical maturity of boys and girls, and then such a similar thing, it is best for the homeroom teacher not to specifically look for boys. Girls may be the real 'culprit'. ”
The above point of view is disgusting to the reader. On the book's Douban page, readers commented on "the dregs of patriarchal thinking" and "planting misogynistic seeds from teenagers."

1 August: World Breastfeeding Week 2023 to promote enhanced breastfeeding conditions in the workplace
World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated from 1 to 7 August each year, and this year's theme is "Empowering Working Families and Breastfeeding". UNICEF and WHO have highlighted the need to scale up support for breastfeeding in all workplaces to maintain and increase global breastfeeding rates.
The global breastfeeding target set by the World Health Assembly is to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates to at least 50% in the first six months by 2025 and at least 70% by 2030. To reach the goal, the barriers women face when achieving breastfeeding must be addressed, with friendly workplaces being key.
Evidence suggests that while breastfeeding rates drop significantly when women return to work, this negative impact can be reversed if workplaces facilitate continued breastfeeding. Breast-friendly workplaces include paid maternity leave, breastfeeding breaks, and rooms for mothers to breastfeed or carry milk.
