"Women's Rights are Human Rights" has become an universal value and a significant metric of human rights in modern democracy. In order to advance women's rights and gender equality, the Executive Yuan established the inter-ministerial Committee on Women's Rights Promotion in 1997 and renamed it as the Gender Equality Committee of the Executive Yuan for implementing tasks of women’s rights/gender equality to be in line with international conventions.

Taiwan Women's Center is the first national women's center established by the Gender Equality Committee, which officially opened on March 8th 2008 for being a networking base for the public and private sectors as well as an exhibition center for presenting women's contributions and gender equality in Taiwan.

In the future, Taiwan Women's Center, gathering the public and private sectors, and domestic and international communities which promote women’s rights, will keep taking actions on Agenda for Substantive Development. The center helps to accelerate equal rights for women in various ages, classes, regions, sexual orientation and gender identity, and creates opportunities to whom. This enables Taiwan to move toward a more diverse, equal, safe, inclusive, and innovative sustainable society.
