The implementation of the Charity Law, the FNGO Law, and the Reform Opinion sent a signal that the Chinese government had “legalized” its monitoring of domestic and foreign NGOs and that the “political suppression” of the time before such legislation was over. Specifically, this means: (1) FNGOs wishing to carry out activities in China in the long term must register with a representative office and must accept the supervision of public security and an organization in charge of operations; (2) “databases of social organizations which present with suspect behavior” (suspect lists) now have an important function; (3) charitable fundraising, government purchases, foreign aid, and all other items related to the human and financial resources needed to sustain and grow an organization will go to CSOs that have been officially recognized as “legal” and “qualified”; and (4) independent, unregistered civil organizations will be marginalized and may be considered illegal and banned. Furthermore, inadequate financial support to women's organisations is provided, there is no special WPS-focus in the work of women's civil society, the number of projects on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda in existence is very low.

Resources and training on gender-sensitivity provided to law enforcement is inadequate, and has seen limited improvement. More must be done to facilitate and support technical assistance programs, particularly surrounding sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and to challenge pervasive discriminatory attitudes more generally. Chinese law enforcement continues prioritizes family cohesion and ‘‘social stability’’ over women's safety. 

A legal system on protecting women’s rights and interests based on the Constitution and comprised of sectoral laws, administrative decrees and local regulations, has come into being. China continues to incorporate gender equality into new and revised laws. The Law against Domestic Violence was adopted on 27 December 2015 and went into effect on 1 March 2016. The Plan of Action against Trafficking of Women and Children (2008-2012) and the China Plan of Action against Human Trafficking (2013-2020) have been adopted and implemented to keep on preventing and fighting crimes of trafficking of women and children. The All China Women’s Federation (ACWF), responsible for the implementation of gender policies, is carrying out its national gender equality action plan, the Program for Chinese Women’s Development (2011-2020). participation: If the line-up of the top leadership is any indication of women’s participation in public affairs and policymaking, there is still a long way to go for a meaningful breakthrough for female empowerment.

No specific anti-discrimination law in China. However, the country’s constitution states that citizens have equal rights, and discrimination is explicitly prohibited by other laws such as the Educational Law, the Labor Law, the Employment Promotion Law, the Law on the Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests, and the Law on the Protection of Disabled Persons.

The Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so. Despite the lack of significant efforts, the government took some steps to address trafficking, including by cooperating with international authorities to address forced and fraudulent marriages in China—a key trafficking vulnerability for foreign women and girls; seeking criminal accountability for officials complicit in commercial sex crimes that may have included sex trafficking; and continuing trainings for officials on victim identification and assistance, in conjunction with international organizations. Unlike in prior years, the government did not report identifying any trafficking victims or referring them to protective services. Unlike last year, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) did not report the number of investigations initiated into possible trafficking cases (1,004 in 2016), although media reports suggest authorities continued to investigate some cases. The SPC reported prosecuting and concluding 1,146 trafficking cases, culminating in 1,556 convictions (1,756 in 2016); this included 1,097 convictions for the trafficking of women and children, 420 convictions for forced prostitution, and 39 convictions for forced labor.

Existence of a law against sexual violence: Domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China. Governmental efforts to eliminate sexual violence nationally: Government efforts to eliminate sexual violence were primarily accomplished through support and funding to The National Programme for Chinese Women's Development（2011-2020), the China National Programme for Child Development (2011-2020, the All-China Women's Foundation, and through coordinaton with UN Women's efforts. Existence of a national crisis hotline: The Ministry of Public Security has set up "110" anti-domestic violence call centres in most provinces. A warning system was created in Jiangsu, Ningxia and some other places to deal with misdemeanor cases of domestic violence. Number of women's rape crisis centres: Women's centres in most regions provide limited rape crisis services, but exact number unavailable.

Veterans affairs offices exist, but it is unknown whether they provide specific services and resources for female veterans. Officially, all veterans receive the same benefits from the State, including female veterans. However, very little additional information exists.

The first anti-domestic violence law in China was formally implemented in 2016 , titled "People's Republic of China Anti-Domestic Violence Law" (hereinafter referred to as the "Anti-Domestic Violence Law"). The "Anti-domestic Violence Law" clarifies the measures for preventing and disposing of domestic violence, and domestic violence is formally incorporated into the scope of legal supervision. The promulgation and implementation of the “Anti-Domestic Violence Act” is a landmark for China’s opposition to domestic violence and the protection of vulnerable groups such as women and children. In the same year, the government cracked down on crimes of trafficking in women and children. In order to severely crack down on the crime of trafficking in women and children, China has issued a second anti-trafficking action plan “Action Plan for China against Trafficking in Human Beings ( 2013-2020 )”. Various related departments have increased various crimes against human trafficking through various special actions. The “buyer's market” has been rectified, reducing the incidence of human trafficking cases from the source. From 2011 to 2016 , public security agencies cracked 16,000 cases of trafficking in women and cracked more than 11,000 cases of trafficking in children . In 2016 , a total of 3,758 provincial, municipal, and county-level government legal aid agencies were established nationwide , an increase of 166 over 2010 ; more than 1.89 million women received legal assistance during 2011-2016 , effectively protecting women’s legal rights. rights and interests.

No evidence of specific rape crisis centres found;

No evidence of national sex offender website found.

Combating violence against women and children in all its forms remains one of the major objectives of The National Programme for Chinese Women's Development（2011-2020） and the China National programme for Child Development（2011-2020); The China Action Plan on Combating Trafficking in Persons (2013–2020) outlines strategies and procedures for combating human trafficking and providing services and protections to victims. However, the extent to which these programmes are effective and sustainable is unclear.

Total population of refugees, stateless persons, IDPs, and asylum-seekers: 322,439 Women migrant workers in the People's Republic of China: 34.5% A major factor pulling North Korean women into China is a demand for North Korean brides among unmarried Chinese men, and a broader demand for North Korean women in the Chinese sex industry (including brothels and online sex chat rooms). This demand is driven by a lack of marriage-aged women particularly in rural Northeast China, a result of China’s ‘one child policy’ and the migration of young Chinese women to the cities. As the Government of China does not provide assistance to refugees, the UNHCR office in Beijing has a direct assistance programme that covers essential needs of the entire refugee population.
