Since the Labor Law was promulgated and began to be implemented in 1995, the All-China Women's Federation and women's federations at all levels have made efforts to promote the law's implementation and feasibly maintain women's legitimate labor rights and interests.

According to Liu Hairong, Vice President and Member of the Secretariat of the ACWF, in order to protect women's legitimate rights from infringement the ACWF has conducted in-depth surveys to provide basis for the state legislation and government decision, and helped relevant departments to push for the implementation of laws and regulations. The Labor Law is one of the focuses of women's federation for popularizing knowledge of laws.

According to incomplete statistics, the ACWF has participated in the drawing and amending of dozens of laws since 1995. Particularly, in the drawing of the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women, the Law for the Protection of Minors and other laws and regulations, the ACWF pays attention to women's labor rights and interests and children's healthy growth. At the same time, the ACWF has assisted and pushed the government to draw up the first women program and children program in the new century, and included the protection and safeguard of women's labor rights and interests into the government's work, such as helping women get rid of poverty, re-employment, women workers' labor protection in foreign-funded and private enterprises, as well as promoting the social pooling fund for the reproduction insurance of women workers. After many years' endeavor, the legal system for protecting women's labor rights and interests has been improved continuously and the work targets of the government has been clarified and strengthened.

One of most basic aspects of protecting women's labor rights is the right to be employed. Without this, there is no basis to talk about other aspects. At present, there still exists inequality between men and women in employment. According to the statistics of letters to the ACWF in the year of 2000, about 20 percent of them concern labor rights protection, including reproduction, industrial injury, dismissal and contract dispute. The ACWF therefore has done a great deal of work in promoting gender equality in employment. Apart from reflecting the situation to relevant departments and giving publicity to gender equality, it has carried out the "re-employment project" and spread the advanced experience in carrying out the project in some localities, to help laid-off women workers from large and medium-sized cities as well as those from enterprises that have stopped or half-stopped production to find new jobs. Through guiding women to accept new concepts in finding jobs, running technical training, setting up re-employment guiding center and developing community services, it has offered laid-off women workers who most needed help to find jobs again soon.

Because of fierce market competition, women's caliber is essential for them to obtain equal right and opportunity for participation and development. Hence, the ACWF has put forward to uplift women's caliber and carried out the work of eliminating illiteracy among women in many forms. In light of the low school entrance rate and high drop-out rate of girls in remote areas, it initiated the "Spring Bud Project" to pool funds for helping girls to go to school, so as to guarantee their right for education.

To prevent the employment of child labor and protect the minor's legitimate rights, the ACWF has made efforts such as handling petition letters, offering law consultation service, acting as legal representative and on-the-spot rescuing. These efforts have positively promoted the whole society to maintain women and children's rights and interests. A network composed of the legal departments, law service agencies and departments dealing with petition letters and visitors has been formed in women's federations. This network widely connects with a large number of women, knows their difficulties and hardships, reflects their wishes and timely solves various conflicts and disputes for them.
