TAIPEI (TVBS News) — A multicultural festival to celebrate "Migrants Day" is set unfold at the National Museum of Natural Science in Taichung City on Sunday (Dec. 10), featuring performances, cultural experiences, and a prize drawing event.
To enhance immigrants' understanding of marriage management, rights to life in Taiwan, and the cognizance of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, the National Immigration Agency's (NIA) Central Administration Corps conducted a family education and legal advocacy event for new immigrants in Taichung on Wednesday (Dec. 6).
Creative presentations were used to help new couples from diverse backgrounds recognize the signs and forms of physical and psychological abuse, as well as stalking and harassment types.
Hsieh Liang, chair of the Union of New Immigrants of Taichung City, served as a marriage educator, teaching communication skills to new immigrant couples and advising against tolerance for violence.
Sung Hsin-hui, a violence prevention planner from the Taichung City Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention Center, introduced the Domestic Violence Prevention Act and concepts of the Stalking and Harassment Prevention Act, as well as reporting procedures and shared case studies.
The event proved enlightening for A Chun, an immigrant from Japan, who gained a correct understanding of family violence and expressed relief that Taiwan's legal system offers protection to victims.
As Taiwan's immigrant population grows, the NIA hopes to foster a sense of unity among all ethnic groups and establish a friendly environment for new residents, enhancing cultural integration.
