Taiwan's MeToo movement is making a resurgence as accusations hit politics, TV and schools
Taiwan’s #MeToo movement, which had a brief wave of accusations in 2017 as the #MeToo movement swept the globe, reignited on May 31 when a woman named Chen Chien-jou who worked for the Democratic Progressive Party, the party in power, accused film director Hsueh Chao-hui of groping her and making unwanted sexual advances.
The Associated Press does not usually identify victims of alleged sexual assault, but Chung and others named in this report have chosen to publicly identify themselves. The wave of accusations and personal stories of unwanted encounters has brought the way Taiwan deals with sexual violence to the forefront of society.
Several legislators and politicians have vowed legal change. President Tsai Ing-wen, who belongs to the DPP, said in a statement in early June that the party would “make all efforts to investigate the relevant cases, and completely review and improve, while publicizing its reforms.” At the elite Yu-Jen Catholic Elementary School in Taichung, students were afraid of Tseng Shui-cheng, the head of students who taught 5th and 6th grade, said Chou, one of his former pupils. Now an adult, she requested to use only her last name out of fear of online harassment.
A special outside committee investigated the complaint, and in late May the foundation published the findings, which corroborated the allegations of sexual harassment by the teacher. The committee required Tseng to attend classes on gender equality and sexual health and post a written apology that could only be viewed in person at the school.
