From the Paper:

"Women saw change in 1988 when they began to work within the confined area of the home. Ellen Judd labeled this paying work, "courtyard economy"(Chinese Women's Movement Between State and Market., 11). Today women of China are holding down jobs of different integrity. With the explosion of the women in the workforce, women are facing sexual harassment. In 2003, men were banned from having a woman as an assistant in order to drop the rate of 86 percent of sexual harassment reports filed.(Now No Means No in China, 12) In this year of 2005, Chinese lawmakers are seeking to enact a law that prohibits sexual harassment altogether. Not only did women in China seek change, but women of Pakistan did as well."
