Features and Impacts of the Gender Equality Education Act in Taiwan

Abstract

The Gender Equality Education Act enacted in Taiwan, China, has played a certain role in promoting the construction of a gender-equal and friendly society. This paper summarizes three legislative experiences on gender education in the context of the introduction, characteristics and implementation of the Gender Equality Education Act: the government should enact laws related to gender education; the government should provide top-down administrative guarantee for gender education; and the government should pay attention to citizen participation in the process of law introduction and implementation.
