ABSTRACT

This thesis focuses on the poverty issues of rural women in Northwest China. It first investigates the overview and characteristics of poverty in Northwest China. Then it analyses the current situation of rural women's poverty from four dimensions: economic poverty, poverty in social security, poverty in culture and education, and poverty in rights. After that, it explores the causes of rural women's poverty from economic, rights, social security, and institutional aspects. Finally, it summarizes four main ways of poverty control for rural women: poverty alleviation through economic development, advocating the rise of women's consciousness, paying attention to ensuring women's social welfare and livelihood, and improving relevant laws and regulations and giving full play to the role of women's federations and NGOs. The study indicates that we should adopt a multi-dimensional perspective and take targeted measures in economy, society, culture, rights, laws and institutions to help rural women in Northwest China get rid of poverty in a sustainable way.
