Exhibition Information

In the year 2000, during the "Millennium Summit," all 189 member states of the United Nations adopted the "Millennium Declaration" and set forth eight major goals for global sustainable development in the new century, with the year 2015 as the deadline for achieving these goals. In alignment with this deadline, the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women held its General Assembly in 2014 to review the implementation of gender-related indicators related to the eight goals in various countries. Additionally, active discussions were held on how to integrate women's and gender perspectives into the international development framework beyond 2015.

Through the joint efforts of government departments and civil society organizations, women's rights and gender equality in our country have made rapid and extensive progress across various fields since the lifting of martial law. This exhibition is specially designed to focus on the Millennium Development Goals, including economic security, empowerment through education, health promotion, and environmental sustainability. It highlights significant achievements since the year 2000 and presents a comparison of gender-related indicators to showcase our country's position and challenges within the international community. It is hoped that this exhibition will outline the future direction of women's rights development.
