👭⚾ “Doing sports isn’t about getting gold medals. It’s about becoming a better person.” – Liu Po-chun, first woman in Taiwan to become a major league baseball umpire, and State Department Sports Mentor.
Last Saturday AIT-supported Taiwan Women Sports Association (TWSA) held its second Gender Equality in Sports workshop at the Kaohsiung Main Library. Apart from TWSA Director Liu Bo Chun, media figures Chi Hailun and Richard Wang, as well as Chinese Taipei Skating Union Secretary-General May Wu shared the current state and prospects for women participating in sports on the international stage. More than 40 people from southern Taiwan attended this event. AIT/K Public Affairs Officer Julius Tsai provided welcome remarks to support the event and thank the two good friends of AIT and State Department Sports Mentors Liu Bo Jun and Tzeng Yu-hsien for organizing this workshop for the public.
Many distinguished guests were also in attendance, including Legislator Liu Shyh-Fang, Kaohsiung City Councilor Kuo Chien-Meng, Kaohsiung Sports Development Bureau Director Hou Tsun-Yao, and Kaohsiung Association for the Promotion of Women's Right Director Hsu Nai-dan and Chiang Wan-Ssu. Those present promised to keep fighting for more female-friendly sports facilities in Taiwan. This two-hour seminar allowed people in southern Taiwan to have a chance to understand the importance of gender equality in sports. Join us in supporting women from Taiwan in playing an impactful role in international sports organizations!
