OUR STORY
A history of commitment.
WRIC is founded
Registered in New York, WRIC brings together volunteers across countries and cultural backgrounds to advocate for women and children in China.
The Orphans of Shao
Publication of The Orphans of Shao, with an e-book released in September, documents children taken from their families and the search for truth.
Documenting coercive birth policies
WRIC publishes 被國策處決的胎兒, preserving women’s and families’ accounts of coercive family-planning policies.
Preserving names; recognition of the work
WRIC publishes 計劃生育犧牲者名單 (List of Victims of Family Planning). On May 30 in Los Angeles, it receives three awards: two from the Visual Artists Guild and one from Congressman Ted W. Lieu.
Ten years of commitment
WRIC publishes The Status of Females in Rural China as an e-book. Its tenth-anniversary reflection honors volunteers’ commitment and remembers lives lost to persecution.
Speaking at CSW63
WRIC is invited to speak at a panel associated with the 63rd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
The actual social status of Chinese women
Jing Zhang speaks on “The Actual Social Status of Chinese Women” at a CSW65-related webinar.
Collective advocacy and public testimony
WRIC protests outside the United Nations in New York over the “chained woman” case and trafficking, calling for an investigation and for UNESCO to revoke Peng Liyuan’s special-envoy title. It pays tribute to imprisoned women prisoners of conscience and joins calls for the U.S. government to oppose the Beijing Winter Olympics.
