About Taipei Women’s Rescue Foundation

Taipei Women’s Rescue Foundation (TWRF) was formally registered in 1987 to provide legal consultation and counseling for girls and women trapped in the sex trade, and to help them return to their families and society. For 26 years, TWRF has broadened our services to help more women and children in Taiwan and has been committed to promoting women’s rights and ending gender-based violence. In order to achieve this, we have developed 4 major services for victims of domestic violence, child witness to domestic violence, victims of sexual slavery in the Japanese military during WWII (the ‘comfort women’,) and victims of human trafficking. With the findings derived from our services, we further advocate for policy reforms, train professionals and practitioners, and raise people’s awareness on gender equality.
