WORLD REPORT <strong>2011</strong>forced cancellation of the first Mr. Gay China pageant in January 2010 withoutexplanation. In September 2010 Beijing police detained hundreds of gay menrounded up in a Haidian district park in an apparent effort to harass and intimidatehomosexuals. The men were reportedly released only after providing identificationand submitting to blood tests.Women’s <strong>Rights</strong>Entrenched gender-based discrimination and violence continue to afflict Chinesewomen. Inequality is particularly serious in rural areas, where gender-based discrimination,unequal access to services and employment, trafficking into forcedprostitution, and violence are more common than in cities. In June 2001 the nongovernmentalAnti-Domestic Violence Network of China Law Society (ADVN) calledfor revisions to domestic violence provisions of the Marriage Law. The ADVN criticizedthe current Marriage Law for requiring victims of domestic violence to providewhat the organization considers to be impossibly high standards of proof oflong-term physical abuse.Police typically subject suspected female sex workers to public “shaming”parades in violation of their rights of privacy and due process. Public criticism ofthe practice peaked after a widely publicized June 2010 incident in which policeforced two suspected sex workers to walk bound and barefoot through the streetsof Dongguan. On July 27, 2010, state media announced an official ban on thepractice, although it remains uncertain whether it will be enforced.HealthThe Chinese government moved in 2010 to protect the rights of people withHIV/AIDS. On April 27, 2010, it lifted its 20-year-old entry ban on HIV-positive foreignvisitors. And on August 30, 2010, an Anhui provincial court accepted China’sfirst-ever job discrimination lawsuit on the grounds of HIV-positive status. InNovember the provincial court ruled against the defendant.However, HIV/AIDS activists and nongovernmental advocacy organizations continuedto face government harassment. In May 2010 Wan Yanhai, China’s leadingHIV/AIDS activist, fled to the United States, citing official harassment of his NGO,308
