On June 9, 2024, scholars and practitioners from Delhi University, Madras University, and the crisis hotline team from Korea visited Taiwan to learn about the progress of gender-based violence prevention in Taiwan and the operation of the 113 hotline. Taiwan has been promoting gender-based violence prevention for over 30 years, with various laws and support systems in place, leading to a decrease in intimate partner violence prevalence to 19.62%. The Ministry of Health and Welfare stated that while international recognition has been received, efforts to change deep-rooted cultural beliefs require sustained work, and tackling digital sexual violence is an urgent issue. Taiwan aims to share its efforts and achievements in gender-based violence prevention with the world to enhance existing prevention measures and create a society with zero tolerance for violence and friendly to victims.
