The women’s councils are an innovation advocated by the All-China Women’s Federation for women’s participation in social management and grassroots democracy. They are a beneficial explo-ration for women to participate in public affairs according to the law in accordance with Article 2 of the Constitution of the People’s Repub-lic of China, and are a model of “the combination of autonomy, rule of law and rule of virtue.” The women’s councils have aroused the enthusiasm of women to participate in public affairs, stimulated their autonomous vitality and creativity, and helped to solve the problems of women’s lack of representation and voice in decision-making. The process of deliberation is also the process of developing the awareness of rights, rules, consultation ability, the concept of the rule of law and even thinking about the rule of law. The women’s councils not only help to protect the rights and interests of women and children and promote women’s development, but also has unique value in enriching grassroots consultative democracy, developing grassroots mass auton-omy, building a society ruled by law and promoting the implementa-tion of the Constitution. We should therefore fully affirm, support and perfect the women’s councils so as to make it long-term, standardized and institutionalized.
