「第十八屆全球台北論壇：同志權利與台灣國際地位」

日期：2023 年 5 月 25 日 (四) 18:30-21:00
地點： @social_innovation_lab (台北市大安區仁愛路三段99號2樓208室)
本活動為公開活動，#無需費用 ，全程以 #雙語進行。

歷經同志權益運動三十多年來的努力，台灣四年前成為「亞洲第一」同婚合法化的國家，顯見台灣是作為亞洲民主、自由與人權的典範。近期臺灣全面開放跨國同婚與同志家庭收養小孩，來進一步擴大同志族群的權益。

然而在達成平權的路上仍有許多未竟之處，例如對同志族群的刻板印象與歧視仍持續在職場和鄉村發生，非二元跟跨性別的權利也遭受限。國際面上，受到海外金援的保守宗教團體阻礙反歧視運動的發展。第十八屆全球台北論壇就同婚合法四年後的同志權益狀況來進行討論，並探討這些議題如何影響台灣的國際地位與形象。

【Global Taipei Dialogue XVIII: LGBTQI+ Inclusion and Taiwan’s International Space】
Date: 18:30-21:00, May 25, 2023 (Thu)
Venue: Social Innovation Lab (Room 208, 2F, No. 99, Section 3, Renai Road, Daan District, Taipei)

Four years ago, Taiwan made history as the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. This important legal development was a product of over three decades of activism by community leaders who fought for gender equity and inclusiveness for the LGBTQI+ community. The decision to legalize same-sex marriage also bolstered Taiwan’s reputation as a regional bastion of democracy and human rights. Recently, Taiwan has continued down the path towards equal rights by recognizing transnational same-sex marriages and expanding adoption rights for same-sex couples.

At the same time, the LGBTQI+ community continues to struggle for full equality. For example, there are lingering challenges in acceptance of LGBTQI+ individuals in the workplace and in rural communities. Additionally, there are challenges to legal rights of non-binary and transgender individuals. On the transnational front, the pressure of conservative religious groups, many of which receive financial and content backing from overseas, hinders the efforts towards non-discrimination. Our Global Taipei Dialogue XVIII aims to critically evaluate the state of LGBTQI+ rights in Taiwan four years after the legalization of same-sex marriage, and understand how it impacts Taiwan position in the global system amid the nation’s quest to expand its international space.
