President Tsai Ing-wen delivered a keynote address at the inaugural Pacific Women Leaders’ Coalition Conference March 26 in the Marshall Islands, pledging Taiwan’s support for advancing gender equality throughout the region.
According to Tsai, Taiwan is at the forefront globally in achieving gender equality. This is evidenced by the country’s score of 91.25, the highest in Asia, in the latest Women, Business and the Law report issued by the World Bank, she said, adding that it is one of only six countries to have eliminated sex-based job restrictions.
Taiwan is ready, willing and able to work with like-minded partners in the region to promote a broader gender equality movement and help women unleash their potential, Tsai said.
