Heroines in Bloom: Nanjing Maritime Court Celebrates International Women's Day with Legal Outreach
On the occasion of the 115th International Women's Day and the 4th International Day of Women Judges, female judges from the Nanjing Maritime Court visited ports, enterprises, and communities to launch a collaborative legal outreach program. Through this practical engagement, they exemplified the dedication and grit of maritime women judges in the new era.
On March 5, the Nanjing Maritime Court and the Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration partnered to launch a volunteer legal outreach program at the Public Hall of the Administrative Service Center. During the event, female judges and officials engaged directly with maritime enterprises and individuals handling maritime affairs at the center, disseminating legal knowledge and providing on-the-spot guidance on their specific legal concerns. Their efforts strengthened legal awareness and risk prevention capabilities within the maritime community.
At Shanxi Road Community, female judges participated in a volunteer service event. They addressed public inquiries on a range of legal matters, including wage arrears, inheritance issues, torts, and property transactions. In addition to providing litigation guidance, they also distributed educational legal materials, aiming to enhance the public's awareness of respecting, understanding, abiding by, and utilizing the law.
The Lianyungang Dispatched Tribunal, in collaboration with Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration, visited the Lianyungang Zhonghong Crew Training Base to distribute educational handbooks and deliver a specialized lecture on maritime labor rights for over 70 new crew members. The session focused on three key areas: disputes over crew employment contracts, liability in maritime personal injury claims, and legal awareness and risk prevention. This initiative aims to provide robust legal safeguards for crew members' professional and personal lives.
The Nantong Dispatched Tribunal organized a legal outreach program in Lvsi Port, where female judges addressed the everyday legal issues faced by fishermen.
