Their often highly playful visual campaigns \u2014 ranging from parading in blood-spattered bridal gowns to protest domestic abuse, to \u201coccupying\u201d men\u2019s rooms to push for more female public toilets \u2014 have gone viral and even prompted changes in legislation. But they\u2019ve also drawn unwanted attention from authorities, culminating in the arrest and month-long detention of five prominent feminists, including Li Maizi, ahead of Women\u2019s Day in 2015. Join ChinaFile for a discussion on the state of feminism and LGBT rights in China, and how movements pushing for equality have evolved.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and tickets visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/asiasociety.org\/new-york\/events\/chinafile-presents-feminist-and-lgbt-activism-china\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/asiasociety.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, July 28 06:30pm to 08pm Asia Society NY 725 Park Ave., New York, NY 10021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65228"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65228\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65229,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65228\/revisions\/65229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
