"China is Said to Force Closing of Women's Legal Aid Center"

In the article “China is Said to Force Closing of Women's Legal Aid Center” by Didi Kirsten Tatlow it explains how Chinese authorities have shut down as of February 1,2016 a Women's Aid center in Beihing. This center would help women with legal situations such as child support, divorces, and property owner ship. The reason for why they are closing the Aid Center is still not known, but its quite ironic because China just recently passed a law for gender equality and women aid.

Tatlow gives a lot of background information on the Women Aid Center form how is started and where is was first located, this is important because it sets the context and the history of such a big organization that is now being closed for no given reason. A former women activist put the word out that it was being closed down for oppression. This causing a cause and effect reflection on the article because just as women were gaining more “control” they, being the government see it as a threat and just decide to take there resources away. Which is quite ironic because in September of last year the Chinese government established “ a white paper tittles “ Gender Equality and Women's Development in China” and there for with the forced closure of the Women's Legal Aid Center taking away the rights that were directly established for them. There really is no loop whole here or justification to why these resources are being taken away from the women.
