当代中国国家治理中的妇女权利保障

Protection of Women’s Rights in the National Governance of Contemporary China

妇女权利建设是现代国家治理体系的一个具体领域。当代妇女问题的实质是,两性不平等的政治法律制度以及男权主义所主导建立的不平等权力关系,并进而形成对女性群体的统治和歧视。新中国成立以来,尤其是改革开放以来,党和国家高度重视性别平等保障,妇女权利保障水平持续提高,但由于面临种种经济社会因素的障碍,充分实现性别平等的道路依然漫长。从国家治理角度认识妇女权利问题,将现代国家治理的理念应用于妇女权利保障,就要在国家治理过程中高度重视妇女权利保障的实质性平等理念,以赋权妇女为重要方式,通过提高女性自身的性别平等意识,以及承认、赋予、增强和保障妇女个人的权利。

Development of womens rights is a specific field in modem national governance.The essence of the womens issues in modern times lies in the political and legal systems based on gender inequality and the unequal male-female relationship established by male chauvinism,which has further created domination over and prejudice against women.Since the founding of New China,especially after the reform and opening up,the Party and the State have attached great importance to the protection of gender equality,bringing about the continued improvement of the protection of womens rights.However,due to various economic and social barriers,there is still a long way to go to achieve full gender equality.To understand the issue of women’s rights from the perspective of national governance and apply the concept of modern national governance to the protection of womens rights,it is imperative to pay great attention to the substantive equality concept in the protection of women’s right during the national governance process,take empowering women as an important approach,raise women’s gender equality awareness,and recognize,grant,enhance and guarantee women’s individual rights.
