Advancing women’s rights, Taiwan

The designation of Oct. 11 as Taiwan Girls’ Day in the ROC represents another step forward for the country in its goal of promoting the rights of women across the economic, educational, political and social spectrums. This important undertaking involves building a broader social welfare network, creating an environment conducive to fostering greater gender equality and offering comprehensive protection for the rights of women as they go about their everyday lives.

Developed in accordance with the International Day of the Girl Child adopted by the U.N. two years ago, Taiwan Girls’ Day underscores the government’s commitment to forging a fairer society in which all members can fully access opportunities en route to reaching their potential. It also puts the nation among the world leaders in addressing the unique challenges confronting girls.
