In recent years, the marriage equality movement in Taiwan has been a social issue attracting much attention within both the domestic and international society. The marriage equality street concert held on December 10th, the Human Rights Day, in 2016, which attracted 250,000 participants, and the announcement of the Constitutional Interpretation No.748 made by the Taiwanese Grand Justices on May 24th, 2017, have turned Taiwan into “Asia's First” in the eye of the international society. They have also shown how active the Taiwanese civil society is and the importance it has attached to human rights. This essay analyzes marriage equality movement from 2016 to 2017 in Taiwan with social work perspective, and departing from the angle as an organizer of the movement. Building on the field experiences as a movement organizer and participant, and the reflection on these experiences, I wish to share in this essay my first-hand observations and analysis, and to contribute to the documentation of the movement's history and activists' viewpoints. |
