About this person
After hospital in Beijing declined to freeze Xu Zaozao's eggs, she filed a lawsuit in 2019, but her case was dismissed by a Beijing court in July 2022. Her case has been widely followed in China, where women's rights are becoming a more important topic and the declining birthrate is causing concern. In November 2023, she was named on the BBC 100 Women list.
