The Changsha Municipal Government recently took the lead in issuing the "Several Opinions on Vigorously Developing the "She Economy"", which clearly put forward the development goal of "building a women-friendly city", fully stimulated the consumption and consumption vitality of the majority of women, and built Changsha into a model city of "her economy".
Literally, "her economy" is through "she" and "they" to pull the "economy", the main purpose is to fully mobilize and stimulate women's consumption power, but the broad sense of "her economy" can not stop at "she consumes", "she economy" should include "she produces", "she lives", "she develops", "she is happy", "she is happy" and other categories, there is no "she ××", the narrow sense of "her economy" or "she consumes" is the water without a source and the wood without roots. In this sense, whether or not the "she economy" is fulfilled, in addition to the efforts of the individual women themselves, depends to a large extent on the construction of women's survival and development environment, that is, the construction of women-friendly cities. To create a women-friendly city, we need to start by effectively improving women's daily life environment and career development environment.
In terms of daily life environment, first of all, in libraries, exhibition halls, museums, parks, airports, subway stations and other public places to increase the number of women's emergency products monopoly vending machines or convenience stores, greatly increase the number of female toilet squatting, or increase the number of mixed toilet configuration, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of women in the process of using public space.
Secondly, it is necessary to enhance the safety of urban public spaces, increase the brightness of lighting in public spaces and corner places such as squares, alleys, alleys, alleys, etc., install more monitoring facilities, eliminate visual blind spots and dead corners, and reduce women's insecurity in the use of public space.
Third, strengthen the supervision of the network environment, especially the key supervision of various social platforms, to provide a safe online public opinion environment for the majority of women.
In terms of the career development environment, to effectively protect women's rights and interests, enterprises and institutions and departments should strictly implement and implement the policies formulated by the government, such as equal pay for men and women for equal work, protect the interests of women during breastfeeding, and eliminate gender discrimination in employment. In terms of education and training, enterprises and colleges and universities are encouraged to carry out women's professional skills training courses, improve women's professional quality and workplace skills, and formulate specific courses for laid-off women, low-skilled or unskilled women, so as to enhance their (re-employment) competitiveness. Appropriately increase the proportion of the female population in civil servants at all levels, leading positions in enterprises and public institutions, and people's congress deputies and CPPCC members, so that more women's views and opinions can substantially affect the development of the country and the well-being of the people.
In addition, efforts need to be made to increase the recognition of women in society. Incorporate women's happiness index into urban development and planning goals, and give substantive support in terms of capital investment, resource allocation, venue provision, and activity opening, so that women can play a greater and more active role in social construction in the new era, so that more women have the right to freely express their needs and demands. Encourage press and publication, radio and television, literature and art, social science workers and other departments and relevant practitioners to pay more attention to women's perspectives and create fine works that can show the style of women from all walks of life; support all kinds of media to open "women's special columns" and publish public service advertisements to publicize female models, such as some female soldier heroes, female entrepreneurs, and female public welfare practitioners, so that the whole society can understand and perceive the major contributions made by women in the process of China's modernization.
Gender equality is an important manifestation of social progress, and more cities are expected to become female-friendly cities, achieving or approaching the relative equality of men and women in work, life and other development channels and opportunities. □ Zhang Baishan
