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 gathering place for women's vitality – the Woman's Rescue Foundation has been conducting investigations into Taiwanese "comfort women" and pursuing reparations from Japan since 1992. Over the past 25 years, it has provided support and care for the grandmothers, preserving 5,042 pieces of audio-visual materials, books, and 730 artifacts related to "comfort women." After 12 years of preparation and effort, the "Grandma's House: Museum of Peace and Women's Human Rights" was unveiled on March 8, 2016, and officially established on December 10. It collects the life stories of 59 Taiwanese "comfort women" grandmothers, shaped by their sufferings. This is the first multifunctional social education base in Taiwan that focuses on the "comfort women" human rights movement while 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's traumas, ignite the power to move forward, and turn historical scars into a foundation for peace, aiming for a future of respect, equality, and non-violence.
