12338 national hotline for women's rights protection was opened in Shanghai on June 5th. 16005838 and 16845838 "intimate hotline" and 5465 1380 "anti-domestic violence hotline" will be merged into new lines, which will make women's rights protection more convenient.
In order to safeguard women's rights and interests, the city opened a hotline in March 2000. So far, it has listened to the opinions of nearly 10,000 women and helped thousands of women solve family disputes and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. According to statistics, more than 70% of the hotline calls are about marriage and family, followed by labor rights protection. Ge Yingmin, Minister of Rights and Interests Department of the Municipal Women's Federation, said that after the opening of the 12338 National Women's Rights Protection Hotline, the Municipal Women's Federation will also open an online rights protection platform. Every Saturday from 2: 00 to 4: 00 pm, female lawyer volunteers will talk to the majority of women on Dongfang. com. Give advice and suggestions for female friends to protect their rights.
Behind the rights hotline is a caring and conscientious volunteer team. Among more than 30 volunteers, there are judges, policemen, lawyers, college teachers, experts in psychology and sociology, civil servants and cadres of women's federations. Some of these specially trained hotline staff are on duty once a month, once a week or every other day to ensure that women and sisters have a "talking door" during working hours from Monday to Friday.
"Although not face-to-face, but very intimate", patient listening, professional answers and reasonable counseling have solved the confusion of female callers and eased their psychological pressure. Ms Cao, a middle-aged woman, was laid off last year, and her grumpy husband often punched and kicked her. Ms. Cao had no choice but to call the rights hotline. Volunteer Du Meijuan encouraged her to go out and "re-employ". If the domestic violence recurs, she immediately asks the street feminist warning post or the public security department for help.
The hotline for women's rights protection also actively helps women fight for equal social status. Xiao Zhang, a daughter-in-law from other places in Songjiang, was fired by the company because she had to go home to breastfeed at noon. Hotline volunteers helped her contact the person in charge of the company and let Xiao Zhang return to work smoothly with relevant laws. Ms. Liu, a laid-off female worker, was repeatedly discriminated against by sex when she was re-employed. Hotline volunteers ran around and coordinated in many ways to help her get back to work. Ms. Shu of Xujiahui Street in Xuhui District suffered a double blow of being laid off and divorced last year, and almost lost confidence in life. With the help of volunteers of the rights hotline, Ms. Shu participated in the home economics training class organized by the Women's Federation. After graduation, she not only found a satisfactory job, but also studied legal knowledge in her spare time. "I hope to be a hotline volunteer in the future."
