Chinese organisations seeking external resources (such as foundation grants, direct gifts, and other resources) must obtain approval from the appropriate regulatory agency (such as a bureau of civil affairs at the provincial level). Some civil society organisations choose to register as businesses and they, along with unregistered groups, struggle to survive without the advantages afforded to registered civil society organisations. Unregistered groups and those registered as businesses do not enjoy certain tax benefits, are ineligible for government projects, and cannot solicit public donations.

There is no National Action Plan on the Implementation of UNSC Resolution 1325 in the People’s Republic of China.

Locally, pressure on independent and grassroots NGOs intensified in 2015 amid an increase in raids, staff detentions, forced closures, and asset freezes for advocacy groups working on public health, education, and women’s rights issues. Women remain severely underrepresented in important CCP and government positions. In March 2015, five women’s rights activists were detained because they had planned to distribute stickers on public transportation to raise awareness of sexual harassment.

Constitutional Articles that Incorporate Gender (8 articles out of 56 articles);

Gender-sensitivity in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China:

"All citizens of the People’s Republic of China are equal before the law."

"All citizens of the People’s Republic of China who have reached the age of 18 have the right to vote and stand for election, regardless of ethnic status, race, sex, occupation, family background, religious belief, education, property status or length of residence, except persons deprived of political rights according to law."

"Women in the People’s Republic of China enjoy equal rights with men in all spheres of life, in political, economic, cultural, social and family life."

"The State protects the rights and interests of women, applies the principle of equal pay for equal work to men and women alike and trains and selects cadres from among women."

"Maltreatment of old people, women and children is prohibited."

There is no specific anti-discrimination law in the People’s Republic of China. However, certain general anti-discrimination provisions are included in various laws and regulations.

A Women’s Judges Association under the Supreme People’s Court exists, yet lacks a website and published information.

The government of the People’s Republic of China does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. During the year, the government reported convicting at least 35 traffickers, through its publicly available data, and reported cooperating with neighboring countries to repatriate foreign trafficking victims. Despite these efforts, the government did not demonstrate overall increasing efforts to address anti-trafficking compared to the previous year;therefore, the People's Republic of China is placed on Tier 2 Watch List.

Existence of a law against sexual violence:
Domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China.

Governmental efforts to eliminate sexual violence nationally:
The government efforts to eliminate sexual violence were primarily accomplished through support and funding to the National Programme for Chinese Women's Development（2011-202), the China National Programme for Child Development (2011-2020, the All-China Women's Foundation, and through coordinaton with UN Women's efforts.

Existence of a national crisis hotline:
The Ministry of Public Security has set up "110" anti-domestic violence call centres in most provinces. A warning system was created in Jiangsu, Ningxia and some other places to deal with misdemeanor cases of domestic violence.

Number of women's shelters:
3011 shelters established to give aid and shelter to more than 23,000 women and children. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has set up domestic violence shelters in around 100 cities in nearly 20 provincial-level jurisdictions.

Number of women's rape crisis centres:
Women's centres in most regions provide limited rape crisis services, but exact number unavailable.

Veterans affairs offices exist; however, it is unknown whether they provide specific services and resources for women.

Officially, all veterans receive the same benefits from the state, including women. However, very little additional information exists.

There are inadequate domestic violence shelters to meet the needs of women, yet some shelters remain unused due to social stigma.

The absence of a system to ensure funding for battered women's legal aid is also an outstanding concern.

According to the All-China Women’s Federation, about a quarter of all married women in the People's Republic of China have suffered violence in their marriages, though only 40,000 to 50,000 complaints are registered by women’s federations each year. Almost 90 percent of reported cases involve abuse of women by their husbands, though men are not immune to domestic abuse.

Combating violence against women and children in all its forms remains one of the major objectives of The National Programme for Chinese Women's Development (2011-2020) and the China National programme for Child Development (2011-2020);

The China Action Plan on Combating Trafficking in Persons (2013–2020) outlines strategies and procedures for combating human trafficking and providing services and protections to victims. However, the extent to which these programmes are effective and sustainable is unclear.

Total population of refugees, stateless persons, IDPs, and asylum-seekers: 301,731.
