However is gender equality achieved? “She wears provocative clothes. No wonder she was sexually assaulted.” “Women don’t belong in this field.” These are examples of discrimination women may face everyday.
Millions worldwide participated in the Women’s Marches for women’s rights and the right of all people to freedom and justice. In Taiwan we too recognize that “women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are women’s rights,” and the need to step it up for gender equality. We are inviting diverse communities, including women’s organizations, environmental groups, civil liberties organizations and all who support gender equality, to join the march!
On 2018 International Women's Day, March 8th, let’s raise our voice again, to act together for equity, justice and the human rights of women and march for equality!
