Shen urged to cooperate with all circles, do the work of recurrent rights protection well, and safeguard legitimate rights of women and children.

Enhanced efforts should be made to popularize the laws, and inform the public of knowledge on relevant laws and regulations to raise the whole community's legal awareness. Meanwhile, women's federations should organize professional people to provide legal services.
