Grandma's House - Peace and Women's Human Rights Museum Introduction
A nearly century-old building, a human rights movement that has lasted 25 years, and a place that gathers the life force of women. Since 1992, the Taipei Women's Rescue Foundation has launched investigations into the Taiwanese 'comfort women' and conducted actions for reparations against Japan. Over the past 25 years, it has accompanied and cared for the grandmothers, preserving 5,042 pieces of related audiovisual materials, books, and 730 artifacts. After 12 years of preparation and effort, the "Grandma's House: Museum of Peace and Women's Human Rights" was officially inaugurated on March 8, 2016, and officially established on December 10 of the same year. It contains the life stories of 59 Taiwanese 'comfort women' grandmothers who have endured suffering. It is Taiwan's first multifunctional social education base that focuses on the 'comfort women' human rights movement, integrating contemporary women's human rights issues and women's empowerment exhibitions. "Grandma's House" remembers history, continues to pay attention to contemporary women's human rights, and aspires to transcend life traumas, inspire forward strength, and make historical scars the foundation of peace in order to achieve a future of respect, equality, and non-violence.
