Last year, deliberative democracy in mass organization gained great importance in China, which made new demands on the All-China Women’s Federation in representing and integrating the female interests, and also provided it new opportunities to strengthen its function in community governance. Facing the new characteristics, the authors analyze how the Shanghai Women’s Federation develops the response route and mechanism of female interests from the perspective of deliberative body, content and approach.
