The Guangxi Women's Federation plans to launch various activities for rural children and grassroots women, including migrant workers and entrepreneurs, to encourage them to take part in social development efforts.

The federation held a meeting in Nanning, capital of southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on July 9, 2013, to announce the launch of these activities.

The federation will also hold an activity to educate migrant women and left-behind children, whose parents have left them in their rural hometowns to work in the cities, about the relevant laws and regulations that pertain to their rights and interests. In addition, migrant women will receive professional training in transportation, catering, tourism and shopping, which will allow them to get more involved in the tourism and service industries.

The Guangxi Women's Federation will also encourage women entrepreneurs to contribute to the development of local tourism or related industries.

Guangxi, located in southwestern China, is well known for its natural beauty and scenic spots, including the Lijiang River. Tourism is fast becoming the key to Guangxi's development.
