• Taiwanese Women and Sports

Taiwanese women have been influenced by practices such as foot-binding and various misconceptions for many years. It was not until the success of the foot-binding movement in the 1910s and the popularization of women's education that the relationship between women and sports began to intersect.

Since then, Taiwanese female athletes have never been absent from international competitions and have shown remarkable performances. In our country's Olympic history, female athletes have won a total of 14 medals out of the 24, accounting for about 60% of the total. In the Paralympics, female athletes have also won 10 medals out of the 24.

Women have moved from pursuing a slender figure and engaging in tightly covered indoor activities to embracing a diverse range of sports that are more open, sunlit, and female-friendly.

The declaration aimed to improve the status of women in various aspects. Today, many countries are gradually moving towards a society of gender equality. The next step is to discuss generations and ensure the realization of women's rights in an equal future.
