حجاب نشانه عزت و کرامت زن مسلمان است
حجت‌الاسلام سعدالله جمادیان در گفتگو با خبرنگار مهر، به مناسبت روز حجاب و عفاف اظهار کرد: حجاب نه تنها یک فرمان الهی، بلکه نشانه عزت و کرامت زن مسلمان است که او را در برابر نگاه‌های نامحرم حفظ می‌کند.
وی با بیان اینکه آموزش صحیح و منطقی مهم‌ترین عامل تقویت فرهنگ حجاب و عفاف در جامعه است، افزود: باید به خانواده‌ها و جوانان توضیح دهیم که حجاب حکمت‌های عمیقی دارد و تنها یک قانون ظاهری نیست.
وی ادامه داد: وقتی جوانان ما فلسفه و حکمت حجاب را درک کنند، خود به خود این ارزش در آن‌ها تقویت می‌شود.
حجت‌الاسلام جمادیان با تأکید بر نقش کلیدی خانواده در تقویت فرهنگ عفاف گفت: خانواده اولین مدرسه است و والدین باید با الگوی رفتاری خود، فرزندان را به سمت عفاف و حجاب هدایت کنند که این مسئله نیازمند صبر و حکمت است، نه زور و اجبار.
رئیس اداره تبلیغات اسلامی بیجار همچنین از برگزاری برنامه‌های متنوع این اداره شامل کلاس‌های آموزشی برای خانواده‌ها، نشست‌های تخصصی با جوانان، تولید محتوای آموزشی در فضای مجازی و همکاری با مدارس و دانشگاه‌ها خبر داد.
وی در پایان تصریح کرد: هدف ما ایجاد فهم عمیق از معنای واقعی حجاب است. از همه خانواده‌ها می‌خواهیم که حجاب و عفاف را به عنوان یک ارزش معنوی و الهی در نظر بگیرند و مردان نیز در رعایت حدود الهی پیشگام باشند.

Think tank report on China poverty alleviation experience
The report, titled “Striving for a Better Life for the People: China”s Practical and Theoretical Innovations in Consolidating and Expanding Poverty Alleviation Achievement,” was officially launched in Chinese and English versions concurrently during the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting held in Beijing from Thursday to Friday.
Consisting of five chapters, the research report introduces China”s new missions after its eradication of absolute poverty, as well as its theoretical and practical innovations in poverty reduction and international cooperation in this field.
The report noted that China has made continuous efforts to consolidate and expand its poverty alleviation achievements in a five-year transitional period after the country, in February 2021, declared a complete victory in eradicating absolute poverty.
The year 2025 marks the final year of the transitional period. Throughout this period, China has firmly upheld the bottom line of preventing any large-scale relapse into poverty.
This has been manifested in employment and income. For instance, as of the end of 2024, 33.05 million individuals from previously impoverished households were engaged in employment, a figure that has remained steadily above 30 million for four consecutive years, according to the report.
Last year, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in counties that had shaken off poverty reached 17,522 yuan (about 2,450 U.S. dollars), a 24.7 percent increase over 2021. For four consecutive years, income growth in these counties has outpaced the national average for rural residents.
“Thanks to the nation”s good policies, my life today wouldn”t be possible without the poverty alleviation campaign,” said Huang Zhongshi, a resident of Shima Village in Zhongjiang County, southwest China”s Sichuan Province, who was lifted out of poverty. “During the five-year transitional period, our village environment has continued to improve with more industries developing. We”re more confident about achieving common prosperity.”
Putting the spotlight on key practices that have consolidated and expanded China”s poverty alleviation gains, the report summarized them in five key aspects.
They include establishing mechanisms to guard against a relapse into poverty through dynamic monitoring and targeted support; upgrading infrastructure to bridge gaps for improved connectivity and integrated urban-rural development; securing stable employment and increased income for rural population via industrial development; developing specialty industries with integrated clustered development that benefit farmers; and ensuring a robust safety net with targeted assistance programs for those in need.
The report said that these practices have ensured the continuity of poverty reduction policies, stability of assistance and sustainability of development.
Mali”s Minister of Handicrafts, Culture, Hotel Industry, and Tourism Mamou Daffe said the report is highly valuable, particularly in demonstrating how industrial development can lead to people”s prosperity. “Mali is rich in tourism resources, and China”s poverty reduction experience offers significant reference value.”
The report stated that the theoretical framework underpinning China”s poverty reduction governance has been continuously enriched, with its methodological pathways steadily refined through years of practical exploration and empirical validation, such as the implementation of targeted poverty alleviation strategies, and effective integration of the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements with rural revitalization.
“These valuable experiences are worth learning by Global South countries,” said Hector Villagran-Cepeda, Ecuador”s former trade representative counselor to China, expressing the hope that China will share more of its poverty governance experience, and demonstrate how to achieve rural revitalization and effectively reduce poverty through modern development approaches.
The report said that China”s success in poverty reduction can be largely attributed to its inclusive adoption of international best practices, as well as the localization and innovative application of global poverty alleviation experience — all of which have collectively advanced global progress in poverty reduction.
By the end of 2024, China had provided development assistance to over 160 countries and jointly advanced the Belt and Road Initiative with more than 150. Since its launch over three years ago, the Global Development Initiative has mobilized close to 20 billion U.S. dollars in development funding, implemented over 1,100 projects, and brought tangible benefits to people in a lot of countries, according to the report.
The report emphasized that guided by the vision of a global community with a shared future, China”s international poverty reduction cooperation regards other developing countries not as “passive followers” in the tide of modernization, but as equal “co-creators.”
“Poverty reduction is more than a matter of reducing numbers, it represents an elevation to a new form of civilization,” said the report, adding that as a developing nation that has lifted the largest number of people out of absolute poverty, China contributes its experience to spark a dialogue among civilizations on the essence of human progress.
“China has not only resolved its own poverty issues, but also made significant contributions to global poverty reduction, setting an exemplary model,” said Pan Helin, a member of an expert committee under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. He said any impoverished nation can achieve poverty eradication by studying China”s experience in poverty alleviation and preventing a return to poverty.

China consolidates poverty alleviation achievements
China has made continuous efforts to consolidate and expand its poverty alleviation achievements in a five-year transitional period after the country, in February 2021, solemnly declared a complete victory in eradicating absolute poverty, a think tank report said on Friday.
The report, titled “Striving for a Better Life for the People: China”s Practical and Theoretical Innovations in Consolidating and Expanding Poverty Alleviation Achievement,” was released by Xinhua Institute, a national high-level think tank of Xinhua News Agency.
According to the report, following its victory in the battle against poverty, China set a five-year transitional period to consolidate and expand the achievements as part of the efforts to promote rural revitalization.
In response to complex challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, economic headwinds and growing global development disparities, China has worked to bridge the urban-rural divide by promoting the experiences from Zhejiang”s “Green Rural Revival Program” and deepening east-west collaboration to address regional imbalances and underdevelopment, making sustained efforts to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas as well as among different regions, the report noted.
The year 2025 marks the final year of the five-year transitional period. Throughout this period, China has firmly upheld the bottom line of preventing any large-scale relapse into poverty, it said.
This has been manifested in employment and income. For instance, as of the end of 2024, 33.05 million individuals from formerly impoverished households were engaged in employment, a figure that has remained steadily above 30 million for four consecutive years, according to the report.
In 2024, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in counties that had shaken off poverty reached 17,522 yuan (about 2,450 U.S. dollars), a 24.7 percent increase over 2021. For four consecutive years, income growth in these counties has outpaced the national average for rural residents, according to the report.
The report also summarized that the transitional framework constituted a four-pronged long-term mechanism for preventing relapse into poverty, which was reflected through the continuity of responsibilities, policies, resources and funding support, and poverty monitoring.
“As a pivotal institutional arrangement for transitioning from the eradication of absolute poverty to the pursuit of common prosperity, China”s five-year transitional period established a comprehensive mechanism for monitoring and preventing a return to poverty,” it added.

Principles of China”s poverty reduction governance model
The report, titled “Striving for a Better Life for the People: China”s Practical and Theoretical Innovations in Consolidating and Expanding Poverty Alleviation Achievement,” was released by Xinhua Institute, a national high-level think tank of Xinhua News Agency on Friday.
The report has summarized these fundamental guiding principles in five key aspects, including the Communist Party of China”s strong leadership as the fundamental guarantee; putting people first as the ultimate value pursuit; concerted efforts as a distinctive feature; self-reliance and self-strengthening as a foundational principle; and step-by-step progress as a crucial strategy.
The report said that the theoretical framework underpinning China”s poverty reduction governance has been continuously enriched and its methodological pathways steadily refined through years of practical exploration and empirical validation, which included the implementation of targeted poverty alleviation strategies, and the effective integration of the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements with rural revitalization.
“This theoretical system is not only deeply rooted in China”s national context but has also drawn from broader human experience and wisdom in poverty reduction, elevating localized insight to globally relevant value,” it said.
According to the report, this system has also affirmed the plurality of development paths and offers governance solutions that are replicable, scalable, and transferable for the world, especially for developing countries.

Israeli settlers beat American citizen to death in West Bank
Settlers attacked and killed Sayfollah Musallet in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, on Friday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Relatives of Musallet, who was from Tampa, Florida, were also quoted by The Washington Post as saying he was beaten to death by Israeli settlers.
“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.
Musallet, also known as Saif al-Din Musalat, had travelled from his home in Florida to visit family in Palestine, his cousin Fatmah Muhammad said in a social media post.
Another Palestinian, identified by the Health Ministry as Mohammed Shalabi, was fatally shot by settlers during the attack.
Rights advocates have documented repeated instances where Israeli settlers in the West Bank ransack Palestinian neighbourhoods and towns, burning homes and vehicles in attacks sometimes described as pogroms.
The Israeli military often protects the settlers during their rampages and has shot Palestinians who show any resistance.
The United Nations and other prominent human rights organisations consider the Israeli settlements in the West Bank violations of international law, as part of a broader strategy to displace Palestinians.
While some Western countries have imposed sanctions on violent settlers, attacks have increased since the outbreak of Israel’s war in Gaza in October 2023.
When President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, his administration revoked sanctions on settlers imposed by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
Israeli forces have killed at least nine US citizens since 2022, including veteran Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh.
But none of the incidents have resulted in criminal charges.
The US provides billions of dollars to Israel every year. Advocates have accused successive US administrations of failing to protect American citizens from Israeli violence in the Middle East.
The Palestinian group Hamas has also condemned the murder of Musallet, describing it as “barbaric”, and called on Palestinians across the West Bank to rise up to “confront the settlers and their terrorist attacks”.
