BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) -- The All-China Women's Federation held a gathering attended by Chinese women representatives from all walks of life, as well as foreign diplomats and experts in Beijing Thursday ahead of International Women's Day, which falls on Friday.

The federation's president Shen Yueyue said in a speech that the sense of fulfillment, happiness, and security in the Chinese people, including women, has been growing.
