On September 23 (Saturday), the project team invited Director Chen Yuzhen, Director of the Taipei Branch of the Lixin Foundation, to share with students the Lixin Foundation’s efforts to pursue social justice, prevent and eliminate sexual assault, sexual exploitation and domestic violence against women. Director Yu Zhen shared his journey of dealing with the harm of children and committing to social reform. Over the years, Lixin has emphasized that advocacy and service go hand in hand. Advocacy is not only the promotion of policy structures, but also public education and publicity for the general public is another key task; Because back to the service site, what binds the service recipients is not only the lack of resources, but also the myths and unfriendliness in the overall social atmosphere caused by lack of understanding.It requires active communication and dialogue. Only through continuous advocacy and publicity can we gradually reverse the overall prejudice of society and create a relatively friendly environment so that service recipients can have complete resources to support them in moving forward when receiving services. Go, and let more people have more Good ideas become important others! In the lecture, Director Yu Zhen made an in-depth discussion and explanation to the students present on the topic of gender equality. True gender equality means that, whether in the workplace or at home, men and women can develop and work together according to their strengths, so that everyone can give full play to their talents and Adaptable development and happiness together. Therefore, before the release of the 2021 Gender Image Report, other key indicators of the International Gender Equality Comprehensive Index were also added to present my country’s achievements and differences in gender development in various fields through 45 important gender statistical indicators.We look forward to starting from gender images, leading key issues and improvements in seeing and responding to gender, and promoting governance references that have a more gender perspective and implement gender equality. In order to pursue the goal of gender equality, our country has always referred to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ), Incorporate the World Economic Forum (WEF) "Gender Gap Index" (GGI) to conduct international comparisons at the economic, health, education, political participation and other levels, and compile the new structure of the "Gender Equality Policy Agenda" to include "power, decision-making and influence" force","Employment, Economy and Welfare", "Population, Marriage and Family", "Education, Culture and Media", "Personal Security and Justice ", "Health, Medical and Care" and "Environment, Energy and Technology" and other seven main axes, hoping to explore gender differences and areas for improvement in various fields, and improve various government policy plans. At present, there is still an unequal division of labor in various countries with more female caregivers than male caregivers. Therefore, in breaking social gender stereotypes In addition to impressions, we should also encourage the implementation of gender equality and equal division of labor in daily life. Taiwan currently has a “gender work "Equality Act" stipulates that employees, regardless of gender, can apply for childcare or family care leave without pay, but male applicants have not exceeded 20%,It can be seen that in addition to breaking through women's weak positioning and showing the possibility of diverse social roles, gender mainstreaming must also break through men's freedom to choose to show gentleness. Gender stereotypes gradually shape women's preference for emotional weakness and men's preference for rationality and strongness, but forget that In fact, the best men and women have the same characteristics of both sexes. In the future, schools and planning teams will continue to take root in gender equality education. Both men and women can maximize their own gender strengths and learn the strengths of the other gender. By learning to master the thinking patterns of both sexes, combining hardness and softness, you will be able to grasp both The overall situation, but also attention to details, the ability to solve problems and conflicts, and the ability to handle interpersonal relationships, achieve a better self, and build respect for diversity A just society with gender equality.
