The annual work reports from China's top court and top procuratorate were submitted to the ongoing fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress, the country's top legislative body, for deliberation on Monday.

Women suffered more from pandemic
女性受到疫情更大冲击
Speaking at a press conference to mark International Women's Day on Monday, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said women across the world had been disproportionately affected by coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic has seen "appalling increases in violence against women". Since the pandemic broke out, countries have seen a surge in reports of domestic violence after populations were ordered to stay at home.
世卫组织总干事谭德塞在纪念"三八"国际劳动妇女节的新闻发布会上说，在新冠大流行中，全球女性遭受了比男性更大的冲击。疫情期间，针对妇女的暴力事件数量猛增。自疫情暴发以来，很多人被要求呆在家中，有关家庭暴力的报告激增。
He also said that employment losses had been higher for women than for men, and that they had also borne a disproportionate burden of care for children and older people. He added that, all the while, women had been at the forefront of the response, making up 70% of health workers globally. "They have played a key role in delivering care and saving lives, but although they make up the majority of the global health workforce, women only hold 25% of leadership roles in health," he said.
谭德塞还说，相比男性，更多女性失去了工作，她们还承受了过重的照顾老人和儿童的负担。然而，全球70%的医护工作者是女性，她们站在了抗击疫情的最前线。他说："女性在护理工作和拯救生命方面发挥了关键作用，但尽管全球卫生工作者的大多数都是女性，卫生健康系统中女性领导只占25%。"

China's changes 'unprecedented'
联合国前官员赞中国巨变
Erik Solheim, the former United Nations under-secretary-general and former executive director of the UN Environment Program, has visited China many times since 1984 to witness the "unprecedented" changes in human history. These include what he called "a sea change" in China in the last five to 10 years on the environment and climate change front. The Norwegian politician said he wanted to tell the deputies and members to the ongoing annual sessions of the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee that the environment and climate fight will be a win-win-win.
曾任联合国副秘书长兼环境规划署执行主任的埃里克•索尔海姆自1984年以来多次到访中国，亲眼见证了人类历史上"前所未有"的变化。这些变化包括过去五到十年间中国在环境和气候变化方面发生的"巨变"。这位来自挪威的政要表示，他想告诉正在参加全国两会的人大代表和政协委员们，环境和气候战斗将是"三赢"。
He elaborated that the triple wins mean winning ecologically, wining economically, including creating jobs, and winning socially now that people bid farewell to pollution and live better lives. The former senior UN official believes it's possible for major global players, such as China, the US and the European Union, to work together on climate change. He said that such cooperation will benefit everyone and that no area is more ripe for cooperation than on environment and the climate.
索尔海姆解释道，"三赢"指的是生态方面的胜利、经济方面的胜利(包括创造就业岗位)和社会方面的胜利(人们告别污染，过上更好的生活)。他认为，像中国、美国和欧盟这样的世界主要参与者是有可能在气候变化问题上一起合作的。他表示，这种合作将会让所有人受益，没有哪一个领域比环境和气候的合作时机更成熟。
