While the United States celebrates Women's
History Month in March, Women’s Rights in China (WRIC) and Women's Rights
Without Frontiers (WRWF) are co-hosting an event in New York. They have invited
human rights activists from China and the U.S. as well as scholars to examine
the current situation of women’s rights in China. They will also trace the
development of China’s Women’s Liberation Movement 20 years after the Beijing
World Conference on Women. It has been 36 years since the One-child Policy was
put into force in 1979, and our speakers will give a review on how forced
abortions have affected the physical and psychological health of women and
children in China. They will also analyze how the One-child Policy is connected
to child trafficking and international adoption. This year China has announced
the launch of a Two-child Policy. Is this the biggest change to the birth
planning state policy of China in the recent decades, or a minor
modification? Scholars will share their research and expertise on whether
allowing second births brings relief or anxiety to working-class families in
China.
This forum will be held in both Chinese and
English. Relevant videos will be played and photos of performance art by Bejing
artist Peng Wang will be exhibited. Interaction between speakers and the audience
will also be encouraged through the Q&A session. Dr. Gao Yaojie, first
Chinese medical expert in China to fight AIDS, will donate her 100 books,
including 20 books in English, all personally signed by her. All who are
concerned about the problems in China are welcome to come and participate in
information exchange.
