Tokyo Olympic Games is the most gender-equal Olympic Games in history. Nearly 49% of the contestants are women, and each delegation sent two flag bearers, a man and a woman, to the opening ceremony.
China, the United States, Britain and the Russian Olympic Committee delegations all have more female athletes than male athletes. China Olympic athletes won 38 gold medals, including 22 female athletes, 3 male athletes/kloc-0, and 3 mixed events. Female athletes accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total gold medals.

Beijing Winter Olympics is the Winter Olympics with the highest proportion of female athletes, reaching 45%. At the same time, female athletes participated in the most events in the past. Among all the 65,438+009 events, there are 46 women's events and 4 mixed/team events. The new project fully considers the equal participation of female athletes. Among the seven new events, there are two women's singles events and four mixed/team events.
In order to further promote gender equality, BOCOG promises that the proportion of female employees is not less than 40%; The proportion of female volunteers is not less than 50%, and the management positions of female volunteers are not less than 50%; The Chairperson of the Athletes' Committee is a woman, and the proportion of female members is not less than 50%.
Women have made outstanding contributions to the fight against COVID-19.
Since the new crown pneumonia epidemic, as health and nursing workers, women have been in the front line of response, but they have also been the leaders of research and innovation.
14-year-old Anica Chebrolu won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
/kloc-Anica Chebroru, a 0/4-year-old middle school student, discovered a leading molecule through computer method, which can selectively bind to the spike protein of novel coronavirus virus, providing a potential treatment for COVID-19, so she won the 3M Young Scientist Award.
Dr. Cheng Fangya
Dr Cheng Fangya, aged 42, is a visiting professor at China University of Science and Technology and a researcher at Max Planck Institute of Chemistry. Through the establishment of exposure-infection model, Cheng found that the effectiveness of the mask does not depend entirely on its filtration efficiency, but is also closely related to the virus concentration in the wearer's environment.
Combined with the measurement and statistical results of virology and epidemiology, the effectiveness of the mask is measurable and predictable. Her research shows that not all particles produced by breathing contain viruses, but in most cases, the concentration of viruses in the environment is not particularly high. Wearing a mask can effectively reduce the infection rate in COVID-19.
202 1, 1 1, Cheng won the scientific breakthrough award sponsored by the German Cross-border Innovation Foundation for "knocking down the fence and understanding the spread of COVID-19 in aerosol".
Katrina Carico and Drew weissman.
Catherine Carico, 66, grew up in Hungary, the daughter of a butcher. She wants to be a scientist, although she has never seen such a person. She moved to the United States in her twenties and has been focusing on messenger RNA mRNA technology for decades. This is not optimistic for a long time. Therefore, Kariko has not had a fixed position for decades, and her annual income has never exceeded $60,000. Once faced with the dilemma of no laboratory and scientific research funds.
However, she persisted in her belief and kept trying. Finally, together with her partner Dr. Drew weismann, she laid the foundation for the successful research and development of COVID-19 vaccine.
After the outbreak of COVID-19, researchers all over the world began to race against time to develop vaccines. German biotechnology company and Moderna have successively completed the vaccine design. They all used the research results of Calico and weissman. In September, 20021year, Katarin Carico and Drew weismann both won the scientific breakthrough award, which was called "Oscar in the scientific field".
She acknowledged the contribution of Henrietta Lachs.
202110/3. The World Health Organization commended the late African-American woman Henrietta Lachs for her great contribution to medicine, acknowledged the unfair treatment she suffered, and called for promoting equality in scientific research. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus posthumously awarded Lax the WHO Director-General Award, and LAX's 87-year-old eldest son was accompanied by his family.
Henrietta Lachs' eldest son accepted the award on behalf of his mother.
Lax 195 1 died of cervical cancer, and the doctor extracted some cancer cells from her body without her knowledge. At that time, the cells cultured in the laboratory could only survive for a few days at most, while Lax's cancer cells have amazing reproductive ability and will not die on their own. This is the first immortalized cell line discovered by scientists in the laboratory, and it is a breakthrough discovery.
The researchers took the first two letters from Lax's surname and first name and named them Haila cell line. In a statement, WHO said that the total weight of Haila cell line cultivated in the laboratory has exceeded 50 million tons, and it has become the object of more than 75,000 studies around the world. Relevant research results have saved countless lives and contributed to "immeasurable scientific breakthroughs", such as research and development of cervical cancer vaccines, anti-AIDS drugs and cancer drugs.
However, the scientific community once concealed her African-American identity and used these cells without its authorization, which later triggered a series of legal disputes.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the award ceremony: "In order to commemorate Henrietta Lachs, WHO believes that it is of great significance to recognize past injustices in science and promote racial equality in health and science. This is also an opportunity to recognize women, especially women of color, who have made extraordinary but often unknown contributions to medicine. "
Wang Yaping took the first step in the China women's cabin spacewalk.
20211kloc-0/6, Shenzhou XIII manned spacecraft was launched, and Wang Yaping and other three astronauts began to stay in space for half a year. 165438+1October 7th, Wang Yaping successfully disembarked from the node module of Tianhe core module, becoming the first female astronaut in China to perform the extravehicular task, taking the first step in the outer space of the China female module, which has also become the best footnote for the accelerated development of gender equality in China in recent years.

Wang Yaping, an astronaut of Shenzhou-10, gave his first space lecture in China. After a lapse of eight years, the heroine won the sky again, becoming the first female astronaut in China, the longest female astronaut in China and the first female astronaut in China.
The space environment will not change because of the arrival of women, and China's continuous exploration of space will not lower the threshold because of the gender difference of astronauts. During the half-year "business trip" in space, astronauts should verify the key technologies of the space station, complete various scientific experiments, and at the same time effectively cope with the severe challenges brought by the long-term presence of space to human body and mind.
In the face of extremely complicated space environment and major historical tasks, women in China are not absent. In the aerospace field, many female scientists and technicians are at the forefront. In the vast space, they lit up their dreams about the starry sky.
Afghan women speak bravely
Since the Taliban regained power in August, 20021,street advertisements with women's faces have been erased, women are required to wear burqa, cricket or other "revealing" sports are prohibited, TV dramas with women are prohibited, and there are no women on the list of senior officials in the interim government, which makes people question the Taliban's women policy. On August 2002106 16, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution calling for ensuring Afghan women's full, equal and meaningful participation in public life.
In addition to the concern of the international community, Afghan women are also tirelessly fighting for their rights, and women in major cities such as Kabul, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif took to the streets to protest.
On September 2nd, 20021,an Afghan female protester talked with a Taliban member in Herat, Afghanistan.
On September 2nd, 20021,dozens of Afghan women marched in Herat, demanding the right to work and education. Mariam Abram, 24, told Al Jazeera that they took to the streets because the Taliban did not give a clear answer about women's right to work. "After trying to reach out to all the Taliban power classes for weeks, these women decided to make their own voices heard." For weeks, Abram and other women were told not to come to work, or were rejected when they arrived at the office.
On September 4th, 20021,TOLO TV in Afghanistan released a video: A group of women took to the streets of Kabul, demanding the right to work and education. Not far from the presidential palace, armed Taliban soldiers blocked their road. A bearded man with a black headscarf waved and held a megaphone to let them leave. The protests escalated into clashes, and soldiers dispersed them with slingshots, tear gas and pepper spray.
"Twenty-five years ago, the Taliban came and I lost the opportunity to go to school." Azta Nakimi, a participant in the parade, said, "For our future, we must not let the past happen again."
With the joint efforts of the international community and Afghan women, the Taliban issued a series of statements: women are allowed to study in universities, but different genders should be separated; Women can go out for employment and will provide jobs for women in the government in the future; Promulgate laws stating that women are not "assets" but "glorious and free people" ...
The American women's football team won the struggle for equal pay for equal work.
After six years of "equal pay struggle", on February 22, 2022, the American women's football team and the American Football Association reached a settlement agreement of 24 million US dollars (about 65.438+0.5 billion yuan). In the following collective bargaining agreement, the American Football Association promised to achieve equal pay for equal work for men and women in all competitions, including the World Cup.
Before obtaining this settlement agreement, the American women's football team had been engaged in a legal struggle with the American Football Association for six years. As early as 2065438+March 2006, five players of American women's football team, including Morgan, Rapino and Lloyd, began to complain about equal pay for equal work and accused the American Football Association of wage discrimination.
It is said that the players of the American women's national team get too little bonus and appearance fee during the training camp, and even the food is sometimes not enough. Their income is only 40% of that of American men's football players. Hope solo, a member of the women's team, once said: "The appearance fee of male players is higher than the bonus we won in the competition."
In 20 19, American women's football players filed a lawsuit in accordance with the Federal Equal Pay Act and Chapter VII of the Civil Rights Act, seeking salary compensation, arguing that there was a big gap between men and women in the United States in the amount of World Cup bonuses. 20 14 world cup, before the American men's soccer team 16 entered, it won the championship with 5.375 million dollars, and the American women's soccer team won the championship with 2017.25 million dollars.

The ticket revenue created by American women's football team has surpassed that of men's football team.
Taking stock of the great achievements made by working women all over the world in one year 2 On the occasion of International Women's Day on March 8, 2022, the United Nations Office at Geneva invited outstanding women representatives from all over the world to send holiday wishes.
Wang Yaping, an astronaut from China, sent a festive greeting to women all over the world at the space station: "May every female compatriot gather the brightest stars for her beloved life and career in her own starry sky."
The video greeting will be broadcast on the social media website of the United Nations Office at Geneva in the near future.
I still remember that at the Beijing Winter Olympics, which closed not long ago, China female athletes kept creating records and breaking through themselves, which made the world witness the energy of China women: Xu won the freestyle skiing women's aerial skill championship, and the persistence of 16 was admirable; Fan Kexin, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the third time, kissed the ice after the short track speed skating women's 3000-meter relay final, which touched countless netizens. ...
Beijing Winter Olympics is the Winter Olympics with the highest proportion of female athletes in history, and it is also the Winter Olympics in which female athletes participate in the most events. The indomitable spirit of female athletes in China encourages more women to pursue their dreams bravely.
Throughout human history, women are the creators of material civilization and spiritual civilization and an important force to promote social development and progress. Looking at the land of China, dream catchers in the new era are scrambling to write history and create wonderful things. They show their talents in the vast world of rural revitalization, struggle in the main battlefield of economic development, climb the peak in the main position of scientific and technological innovation, and struggle in the small harbor of family construction.
Many distant dreams have come true because of the efforts of female compatriots; Many gratifying glories are more brilliant because of the blooming of female charm. They play an important role in "holding up half the sky" with lofty sentiments and struggles, and show the self-esteem, self-confidence and self-improvement spirit of women in the new era in their dream pursuit, which is dazzling.
From establishing a perfect legal system to protect women's rights and interests, including more than 100 laws and regulations, to being listed as one of the countries with high performance in maternal and child health by the World Health Organization; From basically eliminating the gender gap in compulsory education to more than 40% of employees in the whole society and more than half of entrepreneurs in the Internet field ... In China today, women not only have a more equal social environment, but also have a broader development space.
Hu, a professor at Zhejiang University School of Medicine, won the World Outstanding Female Scientist Award, raising a banner in the field of systematic neuroscience in China. After 16, China women's football team once again won the top of Asia and wrote a heroic chapter. With wisdom, tenacity and courage, the vast number of women have devoted themselves to the new journey of endeavor and the turbulent torrent of achievements in the new era, and achieved brilliant lives.
Eliminate gender discrimination in the field of enrollment and employment, protect rural women's land and related rights and interests, respect women's labor and reproductive rights, and strengthen the protection of women's personal safety and personality rights and interests ... Not long ago, the revised draft of the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests was publicly solicited for comments, which strongly demonstrated the legal will to protect women's legitimate rights and interests.
During the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, some delegates and members focused on the protection of women's rights and interests, encouraging and calling for the sustained and healthy development of women's cause. Only by cracking down on illegal and criminal acts that infringe on women's rights and interests according to law and constantly promoting social fairness and justice can women be guaranteed to exercise their rights equally according to law, participate in economic and social development and enjoy the fruits of development.
The sonorous roses compete with each other, the country is full of power, and social development is more dynamic. Every ordinary woman's life is brilliant, her dreams are realized, and eventually she will converge into a river advancing with the times and a powerful force to promote social progress.
Taking stock of the great achievements made by working women around the world in the past year On the occasion of International Women's Day on March 8, at the invitation of the UN Radio and Television Center, China astronaut Wang Yaping, who was on a mission in space, recorded a video a few days ago and sent a festive blessing to the global women on the space station, "May every female compatriot gather the brightest stars for her beloved life and career in her own starry sky".
Wang Yaping said in a video address that space will never change the environment and lower the threshold because of the arrival of women. A large number of flight data show that there is no obvious difference in adaptability and working ability between men and women in space, and women can complete the same training and assessment as male astronauts with high standards. Moreover, many physiological and psychological characteristics of women can give full play to their own advantages in space and complement male astronauts, which is very helpful for successfully completing the challenges brought by staying in a narrow space for a long time.
She said that with the progress of space technology and the development of commercial space flight, it has become more and more common for women to participate in space flight. I hope that all girls with aerospace dreams can protect their vision of going to the stars and the sea. "One day, before you know it, you look up and find that your dreams are within reach. I believe that this is not an unreachable dream. As long as we work hard, we will be able to touch it. "
Wang Yaping said that she would always stick to the aerospace career she loves, attract the next generation to love flying and aerospace with her positive energy, and encourage more women to enter the science and technology industry. More and more women participate in manned space missions, which is of great significance for large-scale and long-term exploration of space in the future.
Wang Yaping emphasized that despite the differences in nationality, nationality and occupation, women all over the world are making the world full of vitality and more harmonious and warm through their own efforts. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank every female compatriot for their selfless dedication and wish every female compatriot to pick the brightest stars for our beloved life and career in their own starry sky!" She said.
It is reported that Wang Yaping's space blessing will be displayed by the UN headquarters in Geneva on its official website and social media accounts.
