中国妇女法律援助的模式选择

Forms of Women's Legal Aid in China

妇女法律援助制度在中国的确立和发展尚处于起步阶段,妇女法律援助的模式选择问题决定了妇女法律援助的发展方向。在中国较为丰富的妇女维权经验和相对较少的妇女法律援助实践中,中国妇女法律援助形成了三种模式:政府型妇女法律援助、民间型妇女法律援助和妇联型妇女法律援助。在甄别三种模式之后,本文创设第四种妇女法律援助模式:以政府型妇女法律援助为基础,以民间型妇女法律援助为主体,以妇联型妇女法律援助为重要补充。

Women＇s legal aid is still in its infancy in China. The direction in which women＇s legal aid develops shall be influenced by its forms. There have been abundant experiences of safeguarding women＇s rights but comparatively less practice of women＇s legal aid. This article will summarize three forms of women＇s legal aid： government-supported women＇s legal aid, civil society-driven women＇s legal aid and women＇s legal aid supported by the Women＇s Federations. After distinguishing these forms, the paper shall discuss a fourth form of women＇s legal aid： that is built on government-supported women＇s legal aid as its foundation, civl society driven women＇s legal aid as its centre and women＇s legal aid supported by the Women＇s Federation as its significant supplement.
