Huairou District (Chinese:怀柔区;pinyin:Huáiróu Qū) is situated in northernBeijing about 50 kilometres (31 mi) from the city center (about a 1½ to 2 hour drive).
In 1995 during the United Nation's4th World's Women Conference in Beijing, the Civil Society community was forced to meet in the Huairou district, an hour from the official proceedings, leading to a great deal of discontent, as many of the non-governmental actors present felt marginalized. In a tent at the Civil Society Village established especially for poor, grassroots women at the conference (organized by GROOTS International), theHuairou Commission, a registered non-governmental organization with a global secretariat inBrooklyn, NY, was established to ensure that grassroots women would have a voice at subsequent UN conferences and in other development processes.[1]
Also in 1995,film industry began to develop inYangsong, a town in the southeast of Huairou.China Film Group Corporation built its studio in Huairou in 2005.[2]
