Following January 11 elections, a record 42
percent of lawmakers were women, an increase from 38 percent in 2016, although
less than 3 percent of the cabinet were women. Six seats are reserved in the
legislature for representatives chosen by Taiwan’s indigenous people.
Many victims did not report the crime
for fear of social stigmatization, and NGOs and academic studies estimated the
total number of sexual assaults was seven to 10 times higher than the number
reported to police. Some abused women chose not to report incidents to police
due to social pressure not to disgrace their families. The
law requires all cities and counties to establish violence prevention and
control centers to address domestic and sexual violence, child abuse, and elder
abuse. Incidents of sexual harassment were
reportedly on the rise in public spaces, schools, the legislature, and in
government agencies. Overseas spouses were reportedly targets of social
discrimination or abuse outside and, at times, inside the home.
Activists for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) rights
said due to victims’ reluctance to lodge formal complaints, discrimination
against LGBTI persons was more widespread than suggested by the number of court
cases. Reported instances of violence against LGBTI individuals were rare, and
police response was adequate. state.gov/reports/2020-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/taiwan/

販運者通過欺詐性婚姻和針對性交易的欺騙性就業機會，將來自中國和東南亞國家的婦女引誘到台灣。

Freedom House, a
Washington-based non-governmental organization that supports the
expansion of freedom around the world.
(1) 台灣強姦與家庭暴力依舊
Rape and domestic violence remain problems despite
government programs to protect women and the work of numerous
NGOs to improve women’s rights. Although authorities can pursue
such cases without the victims formally pressing charges,
cultural norms inhibit many women from reporting the crimes.
(2) 台灣同時是走私(販賣)婦女的目的地與貨源地
Taiwan is both a source and destination for trafficked women. In
January 2009, the legislature passed a law that specifically
criminalized sex and labor trafficking while increasing
penalties for such offenses.
Rape and Domestic Violence: The law
criminalizes rape, including spousal rape,
and domestic violence. Because victims were
socially stigmatized, many did not report
the crime, and the Ministry of Interior
estimated that the total number of sexual
assaults was 10 times the number reported to
police.
The law provides protection for
rape victims. Rape trials are not open to
the public unless the victim consents. The
law permits a charge of rape without
requiring the victim to press charges.
The law establishes the punishment for
rape as not less than five years’
imprisonment, and courts usually gave those
convicted prison sentences of five to 10
years. According to the Ministry of Health
and Welfare, as of July there were 8,029
reports filed for rape or sexual assault. As
of July, courts indicted 1,282 persons and
convicted 1,297 persons. According to the
Ministry of Justice, the average prosecution
rate for rape and sexual assault over the
past five years was approximately 50
percent, and the average conviction rate of
cases prosecuted was approximately 90
percent.
As of September, authorities prosecuted
1,921 persons for domestic violence and
convicted 1,595 persons. Typically, courts
sentenced persons convicted in domestic
violence cases to less than six months in
prison. Social pressure not to disgrace
their families discouraged abused women from
reporting incidents to the police. The law
allows prosecutors to take the initiative in
investigating complaints of domestic
violence, without waiting for a spouse to
file a formal lawsuit.
The law requires all cities and counties
to establish violence prevention and control
centers to address domestic and sexual
violence, child abuse, and elder abuse.
These centers provided victims with
protection, medical treatment, emergency
assistance, shelter, legal counseling,
education, and training on a 24-hour basis.
The Health and Welfare Ministry, newly
established in July, will be responsible for
combating and addressing rape and domestic
violence.
Sexual Harassment: Sexual
harassment in the workplace is a crime
punishable by fines of NT$100,000 to NT$1
million ($3,400 to $34,000) and imprisonment
for up to two years. All public employers
and larger private employers are required to
enact preventive measures and establish
complaint procedures to deter sexual
harassment. Women’s groups complained that,
despite the law and increased awareness of
the issue, judicial authorities remained
dismissive of sexual harassment complaints.
Discrimination: The law prohibits
discrimination based on gender. The law
provides for equal treatment with regard to
salaries, promotions, and assignments. The
law entitles women to request up to two
years of unpaid maternity leave and forbids
termination of employment because of
pregnancy or marriage. Central and local
agencies, schools, and other organizations
are required to develop enforcement rules
and set up gender equality committees to
oversee the implementation of the law. One
NGO claimed that the authorities were not
doing enough to raise public awareness of
this issue.
Women’s advocates noted that women
continued to be promoted less frequently,
occupied fewer management positions, and
worked for lower pay than did their male
counterparts. Women made up 44 percent of
the workforce. According to the Council for
Labor Affairs (CLA), salaries for women
averaged 82 percent of those for men
performing comparable jobs.
