In January, the Shenzhen municipal government announced its plan
to establish a “sex equality promotion organization” to facilitate the
implementation of the Shenzhen Regulations on the Promotion of Sex
Equality (i.e., the first local regulations to exclusively address the issue
of gender equality). The organization shall promote the establishment of
rules with respect to gender statistics, gender analysis in public policies,
anti-harassment, etc. It appears that the new Shenzhen organization will
attempt to function in a similar way to equal opportunity bodies in the US
and other jurisdictions, although its authority and roles are not clear yet.
