This organization is Called Shanghai Women's Federation. The organization has put together several plans that they implemented for equal gender rights. They are starting with the five-year plan to get started. This plan will help them find the information regarding how to get equal rights and also how to maintain it through the government. For example the article "General Goals for shanghai women's work in the next 5 years" states, "so as to fulfill women's equal chances of participation in economy, politics, culture and society; to better implement series of laws i.e. The Law on Protecting Women's Right and Interests in People's Republic of China" (Shanghai Women's Federation). This information provided shows how the organization is pushing forward to gain women rights and make sure more women are involved in the work field.


F.       Regarding the opinion on defending gender inequality in Shanghai, are not known in the articles. Although, some believes, " "Men only" is a common" prerequisite" to be found at job fairs, for example. Further, women are more likely to be laid off than men: women tend to earn less than men get even for the same job". This information shows one of the reason why companies or any job believes that they have more excuses from birth or child care. Although, men does not gets involved with it, but have their wife/ women to stay home.

Statistitcs

C. In China, the idea of gender differences are men are more dominant than women in the working field.Gender discrimination has taken preference to men than women whom were disadvantage of all rights and were present mainly to serve men. Gender discrimination in China had been existed for many years on women. Corresponding to September 2009 All-China Women’s Federation survey, it was mention that over 90 percent of the female college students interviewed felt like they had experienced gender discrimination in their profession searches. The women are receiving the unfair treatment in workplace especially the incomes. Even comparing colleges graduate with the same education backgrounds found that men's earning could be as high as 800 yuan ( US $116) more than women in one of the 2009 survey conducted by a private company. Having a same education would not matter to the companies but has more respect toward the men. Another survey was cited in February 2010, Women’s watch China report, was mention about 15 percent of the companies surveyed pay higher wages to male gross an average of 361 yuan(US 53 dollars) per months more than females. Despite the way each viewpoint approaches the problems of gender discrimination, the fact that they know that there dealing with gender inequality among men dominating over women. 

D.       Our group believes that gender inequality is an issue especially in China, it is a serious dilemma in the workplace. Men and women become aware of different roles that takes responsibilities from their characteristics in most setting, for example women do lots of household chores while men maintain in their job. Gender discrimination is present in the workplace worldwide, but China goes beyond that but a violation of human rights.Women in China is consistently been paid less and for men are often get better paid and respect. Especially, women having the same education as men would not matter to the companies.A law was passed an anti-discrimination in 1995, Sex Discrimination Ordinance (SDO), are based on discrimination on basis of sex, pregnancy, and sexual harassment are unlawful. It was provides Equal Opportunities Commission to work towards the elimination of harassment discrimination to promote equal opportunity. The law passed but the chinese workplace are not following it.  It is a big problem that it is not promoted correctly as equal opportunity for women. It is not correct to treat women differently toward men because their not dominant enough, or they are only responsible for their children, not on job. Our group believes that women should be treated equal.

Identifing Region & Identifing Gender Inequality in China

A. In China today there as been some changes in women rights such as granting them the right to divorce and to work on an equal footing with men, and offering greater educational opportunities than those found in most other developing countries. That is not the case for poor women in China. The poor women in China put themselves in desperate situations for money for example  "Offering sex for money have become ubiquitous, and some estimates put the number of prostitutes in China at 4 million" (Hewtt). Women in China get empolyment  about 330 million women have a job. There is a low percentage of women working in the article "Working women in China second class workers [Note 1]" it states that   "46.7 percent of the total working population of women in the country" Today men are still getting paid more than women. In china they have The One Child Policy is when each family in China can only have one child. If the parents want to have more than one child Rosenberg states that  they are "fined, pressures to abort a pregnancy, and even forced sterilization accompanied second or subsequent pregnancies" women do not have the right to have as many child as they like.

B. Their is gender inequality when it comes to women in China selling their bodies. China mostly has poor women as prostitutes instead of men, they do not have a respectable job for women if they are poor. In China more men are working than women. Women should work, but in many state enterprises they did cleaning or manual labor." These practices continue today and are reflected in China's political sector: despite a few success stories, women make up around 20 percent of the Communist Party's 70 million members and hold only 13 of 204 seats on the Central Committee, the party's top body"(Hewitt 2). Women still get the common jobs like cleaning which is part of the gender inequality. Having the One Child Policy is another form of gender inequality because in China they believe that it is better to have one child because it keeps China from getting over poplated. Rosenberg states that"the result of such Draconian family planning has resulted in the disparate ratio of 114 males for every 100 females among babies from birth through children four years of age. Normally, 105 males are naturally born for every 100 females (1). Thus causing gender in inequality in China.
