Our history: Born year 1994
In 1982, Taiwan’s first women viewpoint magazine initiated. This opened Taiwan’s women sports history. Years later, the Taipei Awakening Association was established.
From defending women rights, rebelling sexist acts to uniting women power, for absorbing more women participants and attracting more civilian’s awareness, the Taipei awakening organization chairs and presidents decided to branch out the Taipei awakening association, mainly for uniting and gathering massive female members. After six months of organizing and preparation, the Taipei Awakening Association has been originated.
For the past ten years, Women assisting Women has been our steady ambition. Since establishment, we have promoted diverse discussions of feminine topics as well as various women self-aware classes and events. Moreover, we think women’s direct involvement and tenets contribution is the exact solution to the improvement of feminine environment; therefore, in 1995 we promoted and gathered a large number of women to contribute in a public exercise. 2 days of a year, legal and political committee with approximately two hundred females and had several seminars with ten plus female government members. What’s most devastating is that out of the 200 members, a number of them eventually became leaders of districts, mayors of cities, and government members. With these leaders, the TAA concentrated with other female establishments and demanded for one third of government institution employees to be of female sex.
Long way since the origin, we put power into women to participate in business experiences with the assistance of TAA resources. This upgraded the living environment of housewives and foreigners friends in Taiwan. Adopting the money, the TAA organized book reviews, writing classes, law classes, DIY art classes and in addition, daughter in law living classes. For instance, the TAA published books and documented these on going courses. The TAA had used incomparable methods to record the glorious acts and steps women has taken in order to receive power and climb up the society hierarchy.
With years of feminine organization’s concentrated power, the female has finally raised awareness in the Taiwan society. However, we know undeniably that if we want Taiwan to be a true gender equal community, we still have long way to go.
