Hainan Women's Federation and the family protection group, dedicated to promoting Hainan's campaign to protect minors' rights and interests, on May 5 hosted a campaign-promotion activity. The event was held in Haikou, capital of South China's Hainan Province.
Earlier this year, the General Office of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of Hainan Provincial People's Government promulgated a work plan to launch the 2023-2025 campaign to protect minors' rights and interests. Officials used the event to call on various organizations, and people from all segments of society, across Hainan, to work together to protect children's rights and interests.
During the event, organizers provided lectures, to promote advanced family education ideas among participants, and to help them increase their knowledge about the laws and regulations pertaining to the protection of minors' legal rights and interests. Organizers also held an art performance, to help participants better understand the laws and regulations.
On the same day, a van arrived at Haixiu (a town in Haikou). In addition to explaining the laws and regulations pertaining to the protection of minors' rights to residents, the federation's workers, in the van, showed videos to promote both the campaign and a law-promotion activity conducted by the federation in June 2022.
During the past year, the federation has been dispatching vans, with "legal docents," to communities and villages (in Hainan), so the "docents" can provide training to volunteers and cadres with the women's federations, at the grass-roots level in Hainan, to help them better understand the laws and regulations, especially those pertaining to the protection of women and children's legal rights and interests.
So far, the federation has organized more than 30,000 cadres with the women's federations, at the grass-roots level in Hainan, to promote both the campaign and the action plan for cultivating "legal docents," who help residents improve their understanding of the laws and regulations.
