Homemakers United Foundation, Taipei, Taiwan

The Homemakers United Foundation is a non-governmental organization based in Taipei, Taiwan, dedicated to supporting women in contemporary society. While early women's organizations in Taiwan during the 1950s and 60s primarily served wealthy members by assisting the elderly and disabled, the foundation aligns with the later wave of the women's movement that emerged in the 1970s and flourished after martial law was lifted in 1987. The foundation focuses on helping women deal with specific tasks and challenges they face today, rather than acting as a general club. Its mission is to introduce significant women's organizations to the public, thereby gaining recognition and support from friends of feminism worldwide. The foundation highlights that these groups provide professional assistance across various topics, including women's mental health, women's rights, support for women with broken homes, female workers' rights, women's studies, and rescue and support systems. By collecting and presenting these diverse associations, the Homemakers United Foundation aims to demonstrate the power of a networked resource system for women in Taiwan, specifically selecting those groups that have been significant to the development of the women's movement in the region.
