On August 4-5, 2014, the Advanced Workshop on “Gender Equality and Judicial Practice”, organized by the Center for Gender and Law Studies of the CASS Law Institute, was successfully held in Beijing. Over 20 judges from 14 courts at various local levels and 40 scholars from a number of colleges, universities and research institutions participated the workshop, during which they carried out in-depth and heated discussions on many controversial and hot issues relating to “gender equality”, such as gender examination in judicial practice, the trial of criminal cases triggered by domestic violence, application of Judicial Interpretation No.3 of the Marriage Law, and legislative and judicial issues relating to “the crime of whoring a girl under the age of 14”.
