Women's federations, at both the municipal and prefectural levels, in Central China's Hunan Province in recent years have explored creative ways to promote the theories and policies of the Communist Party of China among women, and empower the women, especially those in emerging sectors.
Changsha (capital of Hunan) Women's Federation has created a platform that combines ideological guidance with capability building and practical problem solving.
Furong (a district in Changsha) Women's Federation has established Women's Homes, in more than 40 commercial buildings, to provide services to entrepreneurs and white-collared women workers.
To inspire young, well-educated women, members of the district's women lecturers' group, who are outstanding businesswomen and March 8th Red-Banner holders, have shared their personal experiences.
Yongzhou (a city in Hunan) Women's Federation has organized lectures about family education, rights protection and drug-abuse control among women workers and small business owners, especially in new forms of employment.
Huaihua (a city in Hunan) Women's Federation has organized lecturers to promote the Party's theories and policies, and to provide caring services to children from families facing difficulties.
