Disputes over women's personal and property rights are increasing annually, with more women initiating legal action to seek remedies, a Beijing court official said Monday.

Zhu Ping, vice president of the Beijing No 3 Intermediate People's Court, said at a news conference that cases filed by women to protect their health, privacy, employment, dignity, and property rights have grown rapidly in recent years.

"In romantic and marital relationships, there has been a notable rise in lawsuits filed by women over infringements on their physical health and personal rights, as well as disputes concerning property division," Zhu said.

He also noted an increase in labor disputes, with more women filing claims of unlawful termination during pregnancy, maternity leave, and the nursing period.

"This trend highlights that women continue to face vulnerabilities in intimate relationships and the workplace, but it also shows that their legal awareness is steadily increasing," Zhu said.

Zhu added that cyberspace has become a significant risk area for violations of women's personal rights. The court has handled numerous cases where women claim their ex-boyfriends disclosed private information online to damage their dignity and reputation after a breakup.

To better protect women's rights, the court has expanded services to include psychological counseling for female victims. Zhu said the court collaborates with the local women's federation, civil affairs department, public security bureau, and community committees to enhance protection for women. The court is also providing more comprehensive legal education to the public on combating domestic violence and employment discrimination.
