The country's top legislature is to conduct an inspection of how law enforcement agencies protect women's rights in six regions.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) agreed at a meeting on Wednesday that teams would be dispatched to Tianjin as well as Jilin, Shandong, Anhui, Shaanxi and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region from March to April.
"It is an important task to protect women's legal rights and implement the basic state policy of equality of men and women in order to build a harmonious society," said Wu Bangguo, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee.
Wu said the inspection should focus on the interests and requests of women from different social classes and resolve outstanding issues that hinder women's development.
