Grandma's House - Museum of Peace and Women's Rights Introduction
A nearly century-old building, a 25-year human rights movement, and a place that gathers women's vitality: the Women's Rescue Foundation has been conducting investigations into Taiwanese "comfort women" and pursuing compensation from Japan since 1992. Over 25 years, it has provided companionship and care for the grandmothers, preserving 5,042 pieces of audiovisual materials, books, and 730 artifacts related to "comfort women." After 12 years of preparation and effort, the "Grandma's Home: Museum of Peace and Women's Human Rights" was inaugurated on March 8, 2016, and officially established on December 10. It contains the life stories of 59 Taiwanese "comfort women" grandmothers who have endured suffering. This is Taiwan's first multifunctional social education base based on the "comfort women" human rights movement, showcasing contemporary women's human rights issues and women's empowerment. "Grandma's Home" remembers history, continues to focus on contemporary women's human rights, and hopes to transcend life traumas, inspire strength to move forward, and turn historical scars into a foundation for peace to achieve a future of respect, equality, and non-violence.
