Public interest litigation for the protection of women's rights and interests is an important institutional innovation in the newly revised Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women,which is not only an inevitable requirement for our country to protect women's human rights and an intrinsic mechanism to realize good governance through sound laws,but also a logical result of the local rule of law experiment.By clarifying the premise,type,scope of application and the parallel application of procuratorial suggestions and public interest litigation,the public interest litigation system for the protection of women's rights and interests has formed a well-designed system,which is conducive to bridging the gap between national law and folk law,breaking the pattern of gender interest relations set by public-private dualism,and guiding the creation of a new gender cultural atmosphere.However,due to lack of experience or the limitation of vision,the system also has shortcomings such as a narrow scope of qualified prosecution subjects,excessive right of choice given to the procuratorate,and lack of cross-perspectives.It may be possible to improve this by expanding the scope of qualified prosecution subjects,changing"may"to"shall"to limit the right of choice of the procuratorate,and adopting cross-perspective to the factor in violations of specific women's rights and interests.
