Shanghai Women's Federation in 2021 released a document that clarified the goals and direction for the work of women's federations, at all levels in Shanghai, especially related to marriage and family dispute prevention and mediation. At the end of the year, the federation invited members of the commission of politics and law of the municipal Party committee, and officials from public security departments, procuratorates and courts, and judicial organs, to help evaluate its grassroots family-dispute-mediation work.

The federation has involved social forces in its family dispute prevention and mediation project to ensure implementation and management of the project has been professional. The project helped grassroots women's federations improve their dispute-mediation services, and it helped the federations develop teams of workers responsible for dispute mediation. Federations in all 16 districts in Shanghai established people's family dispute-mediation committees, and offices of town and sub-district -level governments opened special windows for family dispute mediation. The special windows in 2021 received 3,530 visits and handled 1,448 cases.
