China Promotes Anti-graft by Educating Officials' Wives
Adjust font size:

The All-China Women's Federation (ACWF), China's leading women's organization, launched a national project on Friday to educate wives, particularly those of leading officials, about how to build an anti-graft "family firewall".

 

Huang Qingyi, a vice-president with the federation, said at a national tele-conference that the federation will work with government departments to make the project more effective.

 

China launched a similar project in 2005, aiming to mobilize tens of millions of Chinese families to join in the country's anti-graft battle, according to the ACWF.

 

China has stressed the big role families can play in combating corruption.

 

According to estimates nearly 80 percent of officials charged with corruption had help from their spouses and children.

 

Some leading officials turned corrupt partly because of the "bad influence" of certain family members, Huang said.

 

The ACWF has planned a series of activities -- lectures, seminars, exhibitions, contests and case studies -- to help family members fight corruption.
