Recruiting in China

The Chizhou Women's Federation hosted a job fair especially for migrant workers in Chizhou City in east China's Anhui Province, on February 5 and 6, 2013, providing a number of suitable opportunities for rural laborers, which benefited many local women.

The job fair had 30 stands providing services for employment and entrepreneurship. More than 30 employing units attended the job fair, providing more than 2,000 work positions, which attracted more than 2,000 rural laborers and migrant workers who had returned to their home town during the Spring Festival. More than 800, including about 250 women, signified employment intentions during the two-day job fair.

The Chizhou Women's Federation distributed more than 500 brochures publicizing policies about small loans for women, safeguarding women's rights, and fighting against domestic violence.

President of the Chizhou Women's Federation Tao Xulin and Vice President of the Chizhou Women's Federation Wang Cuixiang talked with rural women at the job fair, encouraging them to work near their hometowns. They also encouraged them to attend professional housekeeping skills training and widen their scope for employment.
