From "Simply Bad Luck" to "Seeking State Compensation": Recent Progress in Combating Sexual Violations in Taiwanese Schools
Hsiao, Jau-Jiun
Chinese Education and Society, v47 n4 p53-65 Jul-Aug 2014
This article describes Taiwan's recent progress against sexual violations in schools, using the author's personal experience with case investigation work to observe changes in the sexual violation prevention landscape. Fifteen years ago, schools in Taiwan were either at a loss about how to handle sexual violation cases, or they engaged in passive avoidance. Now they are forced to actively address such cases according to the law. Families of victims have progressed from withdrawing and resigning themselves to their bad luck to actively seeking state compensation. In addition to enacting and amending legislation, government entities have more recently ruled on five state compensation cases. This article attempts to convey the significance of these events.
