During this time, women's federations at various levels in China have launched over 200,000 practical skill training sessions in rural areas, benefiting nearly 20 million female trainees, said the conference by the All-China Women's Federation.

Over 830,000 female scientists and researchers have been mobilized to participate in the provision of such services as boosting the public's scientific knowledge and assisting in rural development. More than 7 million women have received business and entrepreneurial support over the past 10 years, according to the conference.
