On April 26th, 2012, Zheng Churan, a feminist activist who was a senior at Zhongshan University at the time, brought 500 letters of advocacy to the school post office on a bicycle. She sent a letter of advice to the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies on the removal of gender restrictions in employment, calling on companies to issue a statement of equal employment, paying attention to and addressing the unfair requirements and restrictions on women when companies recruit college graduates.

In addition, Zheng Churan has also carried out a number of activities against gender discrimination in employment, including inviting the head of the Human Resources and Social Security Agency to visit the market and complaining about gender discrimination in recruitment advertisements.

Timeframe For change

This project seems to be part of a campaign with a clear short-term goal. Short-term goals tend to be things like: create or repeal a law; get a President impeached; make the city administration repair a sidewalk. A campaign with a short-term goal needs a clear theory of change, complete with targets that can be cajoled or pressured into effecting the goal.
