Human Rights in ChinaNick CarignanJosh Menke
WomenThe Chinese government recognizes the need for
women’s rights but considers women's’ rights as a lesser category of human rights◦ In China, the government recognizes the need for human rights
but the government’s objectives take precedence above the rights of women
◦ Spousal beating is prevalent across China and is considered socially acceptable in many parts of the country
Few of these women have the chance to escape this as it is hard to initiate legal action unless the woman’s family files a complaint
There is a large problem in China involving the sexual trafficking of women. The government turns a blind eye unless the women’s family files a complaint
Women
Women make up only 25% of undergraduates in universities Colleges that have a large amount of female applicants have been known to require higher entrance exam scores for women than men.
Education/ Employment Women’s salaries are an average of 25% less than men’s and are typically employed in industry work. Also, 70-80% of those laid off as a result of downsizing are women.
One researcher stated that, “At job fairs, employers openly advertise positions for men only, and university campus recruiters often state that they will not hire women. Employers justify such discrimination by saying that they cannot afford the benefits they are required to provide for pregnant women, nursing mothers and infants.”
WomenViolations Against Female Children:
◦Because of the one child policy and the desire for male children, female infanticide and female child abandonment have become prevalent. Also, many female births are concealed. Therefore they have trouble getting educated and getting a job because they are not registered.
Also, many women are having ultrasounds to predetermine what gender the fetus is. They then have abortions until they get a male child. Though this has been outlawed, it is still practiced in many rural areas.
