0 
The Chinese government is to conduct a inspection of how law enforcement agencies protect women's rights in six regions.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) agreed at a meeting Wednesday that teams would be dispatched to Tianjin Municipality, and the provinces of Jilin, Shandong, Anhui, Guangxi and Shaanxi from March to April.
"It is an important task to protect women's legal rights and implement the basic state policy of equality of men and women in order to build a harmonious society," said Wu Bangguo, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, in a statement.
Wu said the inspection should focus on the interests and requests of women from different social classes and resolve outstanding issues that hinder women's development.
