In modern society, based on the principles of freedom, equality, democracy, and human rights, gender equality has long been a universal value. Gender equality is a fundamental right of all people, and everyone should be treated fairly and enjoy all economic, social, cultural, civil, and political rights, without any distinction or discrimination based on gender. Therefore, the government has established three gender equality laws to clearly demonstrate its commitment to addressing the situations and needs of different genders in all policy actions and resource allocations. These laws also actively promote the rights of marginalized genders and uphold gender justice. The Gender Equality in Employment Act focuses on the prevention and treatment of sexual harassment between employers and employees in the workplace. The Gender Equity Education Act is primarily concerned with preventing sexual harassment in schools, targeting cases where one party is a school principal, teacher, staff member, worker, or student, and the other party is a student. The Sexual Harassment Prevention Act covers sexual harassment outside the workplace and school settings, such as cases public transportation and in public places.
