Tai Ji Men

Some women are hurt by private perpetrators. Others have to resist the violence of the state, as it happens in the Tai Ji Men case.

Some women were burned at stake for their spiritual message. Others were “just” persecuted, such as the women of Tai Ji Men.

Cases of bloody persecution from Iran, Russia, and China show how brave women persecuted for their beliefs can be. Female Tai Ji Men dizi are equally brave.

The connections between women’s rights and religious movements are not coincidental. Since the 19th century, spiritual movements have supported the fight for women’s equal rights.

We continue to learn from exemplary women such as Rosa Parks and Tai Ji Men champions of justice Madam Yu Mei-Jung and Mrs. Huang.

The great heroine of the US feminist movement never betrayed her conscience. She obtained great posthumous victories.

Scholarly papers and testimonies discussed how the UN principles of human rights and justice should also be applied in Taiwan.

The UN should revisit its treatment of freedom of religion or belief and its watching procedures over all states, members and non-members.

Tai Ji Men dizi are the best embodiment of the true spirit of multiculturalism. Their role should be acknowledged.

Taiwan incorporated the two UN Human Rights Covenants into its domestic law. Yet, they were both consistently violated in the Tai Ji Men case.
