Women's Federation. |
Sex education shall be conducted to young women
from rural areas working in cities, said Mo Wenxiu, vice president of the
All-China Women's Federation.
Many women, working in cities far from home, are young and lonely, thus
they are eager to fall into a relationship, Mo said.
Under such circumstances, they may have emotional troubles and have sex
easily with someone. As a result, they have to suffer pregnancy and
abortion and are badly hurt both physically and mentally, Mo said.
"We should help them know themselves better and live a good life," said
the vice president, noting that some young female migrant workers have low
awareness of their own health.
According to Mo, the federation is engaged in legislation to ensure the
legal protection of female workers' rights. "Relevant legal articles shall
be written into pamphlets distributed to these women," she said.
Meanwhile, a hotline numbered 12338 has been opened to female migrant
workers.
China has about 120 million migrant workers. A survey by the State
Ministry of Agriculture showed that about 30 percent of them are
women.

全国妇联副主席莫文秀日前表示,应对进城年轻女务工人员开展性教育。
莫主席说,很多女民工年龄都较小、而且内心孤独苦闷,所以她们渴望感情生活。
在这种情况下,她们很可能会出现一些感情问题,而且容易与他人发生性关系。而由此导致的意外怀孕和流产则会对她们的身心造成极大伤害。
莫主席说:“我们应该帮助这些女性更好的了解自己,更好的生活。”她指出,一些低龄女性对自己这方面的健康意识相当淡薄。
据莫主席介绍,全国妇联目前正在积极参与保护进城打工妇女合法权益的各项立法。她说:“一些相关的法律条款将被编制成宣传手册,分发给这些进城打工的女性。”
此外,专为进城打工妇女提供咨询服务的热线电话已开通,号码为12338。
目前我国的进城务工人员大约为1.2亿。据农业部开展的一项调查显示,其中约30%的人为女性。
