Activist Urges Legislature to Take Action on School Sex Assaults

(Beijing) – An award-winning women's rights activist has written a letter to deputies of the country's top legislature asking them to pass a law covering sex crimes in the country's schools and universities.

Xiao Meili, a winner of the 2014 Netease Media Awards for women, said she hopes the letter raises deputies' awareness of a rising number of incidents in recent years in which girls and women were sexually attacked, molested or harassed on campuses.
