## Resource

A hidden feminist movement in China is quietly rescuing women trapped in forced marriages, sparked by the 2022 “chained woman” scandal that ignited nationwide outrage. Activists, often anonymous and operating outside official channels, investigate tips, offer aid, and fight back against a government crackdown that critics say lacks transparency. While authorities tout a ten-year anti-trafficking plan and declining cases, grassroots advocates—many from privileged backgrounds—are stepping up to protect rural women, disabled victims, and those coerced into childbearing. Figures like Xiaocao are even pursuing legal training to strengthen their fight, proving that even in silence, resistance is growing.
