Executive Yuan’s Commission on Women’s Rights Promotion (CWRP) established the Foundation of Women’s Rights Promotion and Development (FWRPD) and the Ministry of Interior allocated the NT$ 1 billion fund. The Foundation aims to serve as a bridge for constructive dialogue between the government and the private sectors, and to build a center of resource and information exchange for all women in Taiwan.
The foundation is comprised of chiefs from ministries engaged in women’s issues, women’s rights specialists, and representatives from women’s organizations. Its primary mission is to promote implementation of women rights and gender mainstreaming. After the completion of Taiwan Women’s Center in March 8th, 2008, the Foundation has been commissioned by the Ministry of Interior to run the center.
We are dedicated to enhancing and developing women’s rights and have been commissioned to carry out tasks such as the research of policies, laws and regulations relating to women’s rights, to research and consult problems relating to women’s rights, to promote public awareness of women rights, and to train personnel. Our goal is to promote gender equality and women’s rights and empowerment.
