Chinese Women Rights

In China it had been though that women could only gain power by being a mother. But the twist of that was that it had to be a son, girls were looked down upon. Women have a harder time getting jobs and getting paid equally as men even though it says they are equal.  Some women stay in the home to work so that way they can stay in the home to raise their children. In some places in China young women don't go to school because parents think its a waste of money if the girl is just going to get married and leave. Women have started to take roles in politics but their influence of political situations is still very low. There are also a lot of domestic violence problems for women in China. In china abuse is thought to be a very typical thing. In some parts of China it is even thought to be acceptable to abuse women. The hard part is there aren't many laws to protect women from the abuse. Since it is a typical thing is is hard to get away from. There is no place to turn to for some Chinese women not the cops or shelters.
