Brief Introduction of the Department

【International Affairs Center】

The International Affairs Center of The Garden of Hope Foundation (GOH) connects Taiwan’s frontline experience in gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and survivor support with the global community. We work to build stronger international dialogue and cross-sector partnerships that create real impact.

As the secretariat of Asian Network of Women’s Shelters and an Executive Board member of Global Network of Women’s Shelters, we help build global platforms for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and joint action. Our mission is to support evidence-based efforts to prevent and respond to gender-based violence through capacity building, collaborative research, strategic advocacy, and the development of innovative, survivor-centered services.

We believe in the power of girls to shape a better future. Through the Asian Girls Campaign, we empower young female leaders across Asia to speak up, lead change, and create gender-focused solutions that advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Looking ahead, we are establishing a regional hub for GBV solutions in Asia, with a vision for a future where everyone can live in safety and equality, supported by empowered professionals and responsive systems.

GOH International Affairs Center turns Taiwan’s commitment into global action—driving innovation, empowering communities, and building a safer world together.
