Prosecution Open Day Activities
At the event site, the invited representatives visited the case management hall and the "three centers" for replying to letters from the masses in turn. The reporter saw that everyone stopped in front of the exhibition board from time to time, patiently observed, and carefully felt and understood the efforts made by the Henan Procuratorate in safeguarding the rights and interests of women and children.
Safeguard "her" rights and interests
With the vigorous advancement of the construction of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, the mainland has established a legal system that comprehensively protects women's rights and interests, including more than 100 laws and regulations.
"Resolutely and unswervingly punish crimes against female minors in accordance with law, and while strengthening and standardizing efforts on evidence extraction, injury evaluations, physical examinations, and care and assistance, promptly carry out psychological counseling for female minor victims, to avoid secondary harm. Wang Haiyun, deputy procurator general of the Henan Provincial People's Procuratorate, said at the symposium that in recent years, under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and with the strong support of women's federations at all levels, the three-level procuratorates in the province have closely focused on the theme of protecting women's rights and interests, thoroughly implemented the law on the protection of women's rights and interests, the anti-domestic violence law and other laws and regulations, and gave full play to the functions of the "four major procuratorates". It has made positive contributions to supporting women's rights and protecting their rights, and has effectively safeguarded women's legitimate rights and interests.
"The 12 typical cases released at the Open Day focused on prominent issues in the field of protection of women's and children's rights and interests, such as anti-domestic violence, marital and family disputes, employment discrimination, trafficking and sexual assault, and fully demonstrated the firm determination and hard work of prosecutors to protect the rights and interests of women and children from the 'first mile' to the 'last mile'. Zhang Yuhui, a member of the party group and vice chairman of the Provincial Women's Federation, said that she sincerely requested the procuratorial organs to extend their functions in the course of performing their duties, provide eligible women and children with services such as legal popularization, legal aid, and judicial assistance, urge relevant departments to perform their duties against domestic violence, and urge the correction of violations of women's rights and interests when confirming the membership of rural women's collective economic organizations.
The staff introduced how Henan protects "her" rights and interests
At the scene, the reporter learned that the provincial procuratorial organs severely punished crimes that infringed on women's rights and interests in accordance with the law, and resolutely cracked down on crimes that infringed on women's lives and health, personal freedom, and personal dignity in accordance with the law. Since 2021, the province's procuratorial organs have handled a total of 543 civil support prosecution cases involving the protection of women's rights and interests. In the mass petition supervision center, the reporter learned that at present, the Henan Provincial People's Procuratorate has realized the real-time processing of mass petition cases, and the whole process is captured, so as to ensure that every public's petition demands are displayed and processed in a timely manner.
"Serving the masses, there is no best, only better. As an important judicial force for safeguarding the rights and interests of the people, procuratorial organs have given full play to the functions of the "four major procuratorates" of civil, criminal, administrative, and public interest litigation, and have written one case after another in coordination with all parties to protect the legitimate rights and interests of women.
Relieve the anxiety and sorrow for "her".
Protecting the lawful rights and interests of women in accordance with the law has a bearing on the vital interests of the vast number of women, family harmony, social harmony, national development, and national progress. At the symposium, relevant comrades of the procuratorate and the invited representatives had face-to-face discussions and exchanges, and the invited representatives combined their own work and experience to actively put forward suggestions and suggestions for jointly safeguarding the rights and interests of women and children.

"For special women's groups, work in concert with civil affairs, women's federations, disabled persons' federations, village committees, and so forth, to track and help special groups through the diversified method of "judicial aid + social assistance", and strive to maximize the assistance of special women's groups, and convey judicial warmth. Wang Haiyun said.
"To reduce the occurrence of cases of infringement of women's rights and interests, and to protect women's rights and interests, procuratorial organs should do a solid job of their own functions, and all sectors of society should increase the promotion of the concept of the rule of law, pay attention to justice in enterprises, communities, and schools, and especially for women in rural areas, carry out various forms of popular legal education activities. Carry out multi-point development and multi-regional popularization, and jointly create a good social atmosphere for safeguarding the rights and interests of women and children. Liu Jizhong, a deputy to the Henan Provincial People's Congress, put forward the above suggestions for the protection of women's rights and interests in the future.
"It is necessary to adhere to the good case publicity, the communication of major and complex cases, and the study of difficult cases. Chen Zaishang, a professor at the Law Department of Henan University of Economics and Law, said that a good case is better than a law, and for each case, it is necessary to carefully and carefully explore each link in it, especially the protection of women's rights and interests involved in cases of sexual affection, and how to balance the demands of the parties with the strict provisions of legal evidence needs to be paid special attention.
"It is necessary to vigorously promote the publication of typical cases, and interpret them in a popular way, so that the masses can easily and willingly understand these cases, so that more people can truly understand how to better protect their rights. Li Li, a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress, suggested.
The person in charge of the relevant public welfare organization said that he hoped that the procuratorate could further strengthen public interest litigation in areas such as the construction of a barrier-free environment, employment discrimination, and the protection of the rights and interests of women with disabilities, so as to support the equal sharing of the blue sky with the power of the rule of law, and help women with disabilities bravely bloom their dreams.
"The rule of law protects half the sky" is not only the theme of the procuratorial open day, but also a vivid practice of the procuratorial organs and all sectors of society to respect and protect the legitimate rights and interests of women. Women's cause is an important part of the cause of the Party and the state, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of women in accordance with the law is the common responsibility of the whole society. The person in charge of the provincial procuratorate told reporters that responding to the yearning of the majority of female compatriots for a better life, strengthening pragmatic cooperation with all parties, continuing to do a good job in the judicial protection of women's rights and interests, and promoting the good practice of respecting and caring for women in the whole society is the firm direction pursued by "procuratorial blue" in the future.
