The premier stated that it is the nation's responsibility to create a gender-equal society. He asked all relevant ministries and agencies to coordinate with the Judicial Yuan and local governments to actively implement the action plan, which aims to foster social environments with zero tolerance for gender-based violence so that people of all genders can live safely and without fear.
Furthermore, the premier directed the Ministry of Health and Welfare to establish an effective, welcoming and trustworthy service system for victims and an investigative research center for gender-based violence, aiming to strengthen the research in this area and deepen its application. He also instructed the Ministry of Justice to work with the Judicial Yuan to create a supportive legal environment for victims, and to review offender treatment measures for preventing recidivism.
