Shen stressed the importance of adhering to the people-centered development philosophy, and said that more efforts should be made to conduct in-depth research on policies, systems and measures that promote women and children's further development. Studies should be made of ways to continue to fulfill women and children's aspirations for a better life, and to identify new tasks and requirements in the areas of women's employment, education and healthcare as well as protection of women and children’s rights. Full consideration should also be given to the realistic differences between men and women and the special interests of women.
Shen urged analysis of the issues in imbalanced and inadequate development of women and children as well as their further needs and expectations.
Shen also noted that practical and feasible suggestions on policies and specific goals should be put forward to eliminate gender discrimination in employment, improve rural maternal and child health care, promote rural children's education, especially of girls, and protect the legal rights and interests of women and children in a bid to facilitate the women and children's cause.
