Grandma's House - Museum of Peace and Women's Rights Introduction
A nearly century-old building, a 25-year-long human rights movement, and a place that gathers the vitality of women—since 1992, the Women’s Rescue Foundation has initiated research on Taiwanese former "comfort women" and carried out compensation actions against Japan. Over 25 years, they have accompanied and cared for the grandmothers, preserving 5,042 pieces of audiovisual materials, books, and 730 artifacts related to "comfort women." After 12 years of planning and effort, "Grandma's House: Museum of Peace and Women's Human Rights" was officially established on December 10, 2016, with its unveiling on March 8. It documents the life stories of 59 Taiwanese grandmothers who have endured suffering. This is Taiwan's first multifunctional social education base focused on the "comfort women" human rights movement, showcasing contemporary women's human rights issues and empowering women. "Grandma's House" remembers history, continues to pay attention to contemporary women's human rights, and aspires to transcend life trauma, ignite the power to move forward, and turn historical scars into a cornerstone of peace, realizing a future of respect, equality, and non-violence.
