In order to continue to deepen the protection of the rights and interests of specific groups such as women and children, and further promote the respect and protection of the legitimate rights and interests of women by the whole society, on April 17, 2024, the Suzhou Municipal Procuratorate held the "Procuratorial People's Livelihood - The Rule of Law Protects Half the Sky and Joins Hands to Make Contributions to the New Era". Li Jun, Secretary of the Party Group and Procurator General of the Municipal Procuratorate, Shen Dan, Secretary of the Party Group and Chairman of the Municipal Women's Federation, Sun Shu, Member of the Party Group and Vice Chairman of the Municipal Women's Federation, Lu Yi, Deputy Director of the Internet Information Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and other leaders attended the event. The meeting was presided over by Chen Qing, deputy procurator general of the Municipal Procuratorate.
At the meeting, Li Jun, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Procurator General of the Municipal Procuratorate, reported on the work of the Suzhou procuratorate in protecting women's rights and interests in accordance with the law in the past three years.
Crime and governance are coordinated to ensure that the barrier of protection is firm and strong. We will not be soft on cracking down on violations and crimes that infringe on women's personal safety. Since 2021, Suzhou procuratorates have reviewed and prosecuted a total of 4,256 cases and 6,563 people for various criminal offenses that infringe on women's legitimate rights and interests. There is zero tolerance for violations of women's personality rights. Punish online violence, online rumors, and other chaos against women, and truly preserve women's personal dignity. When handling a case of publishing a private video of a woman on a foreign website, the crime of insult with a heavier penalty was additionally determined in accordance with the law and a public prosecution was initiated, so as to protect women's privacy rights under the rule of law.
Survival and development should be grasped at the same time, and the concept of equality should be integrated into practice. Effectively prevent women from being trapped and impoverished because of cases. Handled 400 cases of supervision of civil litigation involving women's rights and interests, accurately using methods such as prosecutorial counter-appeals and recommendations for retrial to correct erroneous judgments that harm women's lawful property rights and interests in cases such as false lawsuits, divorces, and private lending disputes. Solidly escort women to gallop in the workplace. In response to the most painful and hated workplace sexual harassment among women, while cracking down on it, we will also take the repair of psychological trauma as the top priority. Actively promote the filling of gaps in the protection of the rights and interests of women workers in new forms of business, and create a good and healthy employment environment.
The two promotions of "I manage" and "all manage" make the power of rights protection more concentrated. The Municipal Procuratorate, together with seven departments, including the Municipal Public Security and the Municipal Women's Federation, issued the "Implementation Opinions on the Establishment of a 'One-Stop' Case-Handling and Assistance Mechanism for Juvenile Victims", promoting the establishment of 14 "one-stop" case-handling venues in the city. The Kunshan Municipal People's Court has joined hands with functional departments, subordinate sub-districts and volunteer groups to build a social support system of "zero tolerance for domestic violence and zero obstacles to rights protection". Xiangcheng District People's Court and the Women's Federation of the district coordinate to promote the standardized construction of maternal and infant facilities in public places. The Industrial Park Institute and the public security organs have piloted the implementation of the "emergency contact" system in the hotel industry, which has greatly reduced the risk of female victimization.
Shen Dan, Secretary of the Party Group and Chairman of the Municipal Women's Federation, introduced the protection of women's rights and interests in the city.
In recent years, the Municipal Women's Federation and the Municipal Procuratorate have made concerted efforts to establish a cooperation mechanism in the areas of employment inquiry, mandatory reporting, "one-stop" case handling assistance and family education guidance, so as to promote the in-depth development of the protection of the rights and interests of women and children in the city.
The protection of rights at the source continues to increase. With the implementation of the "Suzhou Municipal Regulations on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests" as a starting point, further improve the work system of the Joint Conference on the Protection of the Lawful Rights and Interests of Women and Children, and issue policy opinions in areas such as anti-domestic violence linkage, "one-stop" case-handling assistance, and promotion of women's equal employment, to truly increase the level of institutionalization and legalization of efforts to protect women's rights and interests.
Promote the implementation of work in key areas of rights protection. Further eliminate gender discrimination in employment through in-depth law enforcement inspections of female employees, strict rectification of online recruitment information, the establishment of a multi-departmental joint interview mechanism, and the exploration of procuratorial public interest litigation. Implement the anti-domestic violence linkage mechanism, carry out the "double pioneer" training action, and release the "Top Ten Typical Cases of Opposition to Domestic Violence in Suzhou".
Promote the construction of a higher level of family education and family style. Carry out the activity of "Love Suzhou City, Looking for the Most Beautiful Family in Suzhou" on a regular basis, cultivate safe families, the most beautiful families, healthy families, etc., further launch the brand of family culture season, and further weave a dense family education guidance service network.
Bringing about fresh and effective legal education for women and children. Implement the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" for popularizing the law, fulfill the responsibility of "those who enforce the law shall popularize the law", continuously deepen the work of "building the rule of law in Suzhou, women in action", and realize the organic integration of rule of law publicity and rights protection services.
Take multiple measures to promote the implementation of precise assistance.

After participating in the procuratorial open day activity, based on his own work, he put forward three feelings: first, highlight the word "gathering", use the power of the brand, and gather and protect the joint force. Through the brand of Suzhou's procuratorial work, a joint force has been formed for the protection of the rights and interests of women and children, and the Cyberspace Administration of China has been united to excavate good cases and promote them throughout the country, so as to do a good job in popularizing the law. The second is to highlight the word "link" and use online media to disseminate the voice of the rule of law. In the era of the Internet, make good use of Internet technology, strengthen joint publicity with radio and television, and innovate and create posters, micro-short dramas, short videos and other products through new media and new business formats, so as to surging positive energy and expand the scope of publicity. The third is to highlight the word "excellent", use case bonanzas, and pay attention to high-quality development. Shine the sword against lawlessness, promote the governance of similar cases through case handling, and help high-quality economic and social development with high-quality and efficient procuratorial duties.

Women in the new era have played a great role in the family and society, and women can hold up half the sky. However, at present, as female workers need to constantly balance work and family, legal education is indispensable. Procuratorial organs should be good at discovering new situations and new problems in the course of handling cases, and put forward more procuratorial suggestions. At the same time, online and offline legal popularization publicity was carried out to enhance women's awareness of protecting their rights.

The procuratorate has taken many effective measures to protect the rights and interests of women in the new industry, and I believe that through the cooperation of multiple departments, women in Suzhou will have a higher quality of life and a greater sense of security.
