By receiving higher education, women can improve their personal qualities and temperament, and promote women to establish self-confidence, autonomy, and self-reliance attitudes, thereby infecting the entire family and influencing the lives of their children with their own life experiences. At the same time, share the experiences and achievements of women in the program to the public, thereby deepening the public's understanding and attention to women's needs, and conveying positive and inspiring messages, bringing out the self-reliance of single-parent women, and changing the society's perception of single-parent women.
