Feminism in Taiwan

Taiwan has a complex history with feminist and women's rights movements, marked by periods of progress where feminism and strong female icons flourished, as well as periods of strict authoritarianism that devalued equality and individual rights. Thanks in part to the efforts of generations of feminists, Taiwan is now one of the most gender-equal countries in Asia, consistently outranking its East Asian neighbors in international gender equality indices (ranked 6th globally by the Gender Inequality Index in 2019 and 29th globally according to the government's own calculations based on the Gender Gap Index in 2020).
