Kuaishou Promotes Digital Inclusion and Empowers Women at the China-Germany Forum

Kuaishou's Commitment to Women's Empowerment

On September 17, 2025, Kuaishou Technology, a leading social platform and content community, reiterated its commitment to inclusive development and women's empowerment through digital innovation at the China-Germany Sustainable Development Forum held in Beijing. The event featured a panel discussion where Song Tingting, Vice President of Kuaishou Technology, shared insights on leveraging digital platforms to enable women in a transforming economic landscape.

Kuaishou has launched various initiatives aimed at dismantling barriers that hinder women from realizing their full potential. Song pointed out that digital technologies are becoming crucial drivers of economic empowerment, particularly for women who have historically been marginalized. "In the past, much of women's contributions went unnoticed, especially for those in remote areas," she said. "Kuaishou is dedicated to breaking down these invisible barriers, ensuring women are seen and recognized, enabling them to unlock their potential. This is what inclusive technology truly represents."

Since 2018, Kuaishou has introduced several nonprofit programs like "Happy Rural Leaders," "Her Power Academy," and "Empowering for Happiness," which offer free digital skills training and equipment to women in underserved and rural regions. To date, over 10,000 women leaders have been trained, empowering countless women to achieve economic independence and improve their quality of life.

"In today's economic transition, women face real challenges," Song remarked, emphasizing that digital technology is gradually becoming a powerful tool for overcoming these hurdles. With the right training and access to resources, women can transform from marginalized participants to indispensable contributors to rural revitalization and economic growth.

A noteworthy example highlighted by Song was that of Zhang Xiaosi, a Kuaishou user from Shandong Province, who returned home to care for her ailing father. Thanks to free training and livestreaming support from Kuaishou, she started selling local cherries online and increased her sales by an astounding 36 times, earning over 80,000 Yuan. Her success has not only elevated her income but also improved the livelihood of older villagers, earning her a seat as a delegate at the local People's Congress.

"Technology is a tool. Kindness is a choice," Song stated. "Empowering a woman translates to empowering a family, and even a whole village. This embodies the true purpose of technology for good."

Despite significant advancements, challenges remain. Song pointed out two major obstacles women continue to face: balancing family obligations with career advancement and overcoming the digital divide, especially in remote areas with limited access to tools and information. She called for broader support at international, national, corporate, and individual levels.

Looking forward, Song proposed closer collaboration between China and Germany to further support women in the digital economy. She suggested developing a bilateral training system that focuses on cultivating female leaders in digital commerce, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, combining China's experience in digital platform operations with Germany’s strengths in vocational education and sustainable development. Moreover, she advocated for a networking platform to connect female entrepreneurs from both countries to promote mutual learning and collaboration.

Kuaishou is committed to forging global partnerships that drive inclusive digital transformation, reduce inequalities, and support the long-term development of women through accessible technologies.
