Gender Mainstreaming
中文Gender Mainstreaming
Gender mainstreaming refers to incorporating a gender perspective into all policy-making processes, ensuring that the specialities, interests, and values related to gender are integrated into the university's policies, systems, and measures.
Gender Awareness Empowerment
Online Courses and Related Training
To equip students with gender equality concepts and foster a gender-friendly campus environment, the university has implemented an online gender equality course. Starting from the 111th academic year, students are required to complete the course before graduation. Additionally, to enhance the gender awareness of faculty and staff for better policy implementation and workplace adaptation, gender equality education is integrated into pre-service training programs. In the 112th year, a "New Staff Training" program was planned, with further training maps for new staff and faculty in 113th year. Future plans include annual in-service training for faculty and staff starting in the 114th year.
Gender Equality Education Lectures and Advocacy
In response to the increasing number of gender-related incidents on campus, the university has organized physical gender equality workshops for new faculty members. Based on past campus gender statistics, cases of improper pursuit and mishandling of intimate relationships have risen, leading the university to offer related general education and gender equality courses and organize lectures to cultivate a gender-friendly campus.
Internal Gender Mainstreaming Mechanisms and Processes
Campus Safety
The university implements a gender mainstreaming plan by applying gender awareness to personnel policies and campus facilities. The Gender Equality Committee, which is the main body for promoting this initiative, has four subgroups:
- Activities Group (Student Affairs): Focuses on course design and activity planning to encourage students to realize their potential without gender discrimination, as well as promoting gender-related courses.
- Teaching Group (Academic Affairs): Ensures that educators have gender equality awareness when using teaching materials and engaging in educational activities, breaking gender stereotypes and biases.
- Space Group (General Affairs): Provides a gender-equal learning environment, respecting the diverse gender identities, characteristics, and sexual orientations of faculty, staff, and students, while ensuring the creation of a safe campus space.
- Prevention and Treatment Group (Health Psychology Center): Assists with gender-related incident complaints, and the group leader assigns members to decide whether to investigate and form an investigation team if needed.
Gender-Friendly Restrooms
Based on campus gender incident statistics, several cases of voyeurism and secret filming in restrooms and bathrooms were recorded in the university, prompting action for campus safety. In future restroom and bathroom renovations and management plans, the university will ensure privacy by improving restroom partition and door design, enhancing lighting, and installing help buttons and surveillance cameras in public spaces.
