We have three main areas of work: psychological counseling for people involved in domestic violence, gender equality education for young people, and mass advocacy of male participation. Currently, we have more than 4000 volunteers all over the country. Over the years, our activities have received funding support from the United Nations Population Fund, the All-China Women’s Federation, and many embassies in China.
