Psycho Counseling Workshop in Beijing
From July 16 to 19, 2002, the International Liaison Department and the Legal Department of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) jointly held a Workshop on Psycho Counseling. This training workshop is one of the project activities for "Combating the Trafficking in Women and Children", a project co-sponsored by ACWF and UNICEF. It is aimed at increasing the capacity of the cadres of women's federations at different levels to use psychological knowledge in psycho counseling and mental healing for women and children who have been trafficked or suffered from other forms of violence. A total of 50 women cadres from 25 provincial women's federations, 4 cities directly supervised by the state, as well as the International Liaison Department and the Legal Department of ACWF participated in the event.

The participants unanimously expressed that this training on professional knowledge and skills is "very good", "timely", and "urgently needed" in their work. This training has broadened their scope of thinking, making them realize that people who appeal for assistance need not only the legal help, but also the mental persuasion. They also expressed the wish that they will incorporate their newly learnt psychological knowledge into their daily work so as to protect women's and children's legal rights and interests in a better way.
