This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, and the 70th anniversary of the founding of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Under the guidance of the Organization Department of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF), the ACWF Social Liaison, Exchanges and Cooperation Center (Women's Foreign Language Publications of China), China Association of Women Photographers and China National Museum of Women and Children hosted a photo exhibition in July 2025.

Organizers received more than 1,800 (single or group) photos, and they selected and exhibited 100 of the photos. The photos reflected how the women, children and their families in the two autonomous regions have followed the Party (Communist Party of China)'s instructions, with gratitude for the Party, and the photos recorded the beautiful moments in the lives of women, children and their families. Women of China highlights some of the 100 selected photos to share the beautiful moments with our readers.
