Grandma's House - Museum of Peace and Women's Rights Introduction
A nearly 100-year-old building, a human rights movement spanning 25 years, and a place that gathers the life force of women - the Women's Rescue Foundation began its investigation into Taiwanese "comfort women" and initiated compensation actions against Japan in 1992. Over the past 25 years, it has accompanied and cared for the grandmothers, preserving 5,042 pieces of audiovisual materials, books, and 730 artifacts related to the "comfort women." After 12 years of preparation and effort, it was inaugurated on March 8, 2016, and officially established on December 10 as the "Grandma House: Museum of Peace and Women's Human Rights," which 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, showcasing contemporary women's human rights issues and empowering women. "Grandma House" remembers history, continues to pay attention to contemporary women's human rights, and hopes to transcend the trauma of life, inspire the power to move forward, and turn historical scars into the cornerstone of peace, achieving a future of respect, equality, and a violence-free society.
