President of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) Shen Yueyue assessed women's work
in northern China's Tianjin Municipality from July 15- 17, 2013, during which
she emphasized the importance of women's entrepreneurship.
Shen visited a women's hand-knitting development center in the Binhai New Area, which provides job opportunities to more than 5,000 local women. The center's sales revenue now reaches over one million yuan (US$ 162,900).
Shen also talked to a college graduate named Guo Chengcheng who started her own business at the center a year ago. Shen was glad to hear that Guo and her partners can each earn about 2,000 yuan (US$ 325.8) a month and said that she hoped they would inspire more graduates to follow their example.
Statistics show that more than 220,000 women in Tianjin are currently engaged in the hand-knitting industry which serves as a platform for the Tianjin Women's Federation to promote women's employment and entrepreneurship. Currently, their products are exported to over 30 countries, creating yearly sales revenue of about two billion yuan (US$ 325.8 million).
Shen also visited the Tianjin Women's Entrepreneurship center and a few vegetable greenhouses run by rural women. Many of the women have benefited from the favorable policies provided by the government and women's federations. In addition, micro-credit programs have also helped many of the women start their own businesses.
Shen talked to the women about the challenges they face and assured them that the women's federations will do all they can to help the women. She also pointed out that improving women's skills is the key to promoting women's development and both the government and the public should work together to encourage women's entrepreneurship.
Shen also met with Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Sun Chunlan during her visit. She spoke highly of the city's efforts to safeguard women's and children's rights and interests, saying that the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and government have found the meeting point between serving the local women and public and giving full play to the advantages of the women's federations.
