中華民國婦女協會的成立,是為了結合全球婦女,發揮力量,致力於社會正義與世界和平,每一位協會的會員,都以此為榮。

中華民國婦女協會於一九九0年成立,由國內六個知名而活躍於國際舞台的婦女團體草創,經過了二十六年的努力,我們在國際婦女組織中,包括國際婦女理事會(ICW)、美國國際婦女聯盟(GFWC)、亞太婦女協會(FAWA)等,都成為堅定而耀眼的參與者,發揮了舉足輕重的影響力。

尤其是去年十一月十四日至十七日在台北舉行的國際婦女理事會執行委員會議,有四十四個國家三百二十七人參與,其中國際婦女理事會的代表就有八十四人,是一次盛大而成功的國際婦女領袖大集合。蔡英文總統、理事會會長金貞淑等都參加了開幕式,意義非比尋常,可見中華民國婦女協會在國際婦女組織中的地位,也是替中華民國做了有聲有色的國民外交。

欣逢中華民國婦女協會舉行第八屆第三次會員大會,除了祝賀協會生生不息之外,我們還要與全體志同道合的會員姊妹們共勉,為我們的國家和社會做更多的貢獻。

The National Council of Women (NCW) of Taiwan, Republic of China was founded with great pride and loyalty fully committed to its mission to strive for universal peace and harmony through the unity of women worldwide.

Established in 1990 with six local well known and active international women service organizations, NCW is honored to be a member of the world outstanding service organizations such as International Council of Women (ICW), General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), Federation of Asia-Pacific Women’s Associations (FAWA) and others, all of which are firm and constructive participants dedicated to serving humankind.

We are so proud and privileged to have hosted the ICW Executive Committee Meeting in Taipei, Taiwan in ROC in November of 2016 during which 327 members representing 44 countries attended the successful and eventful conference. ROC President Tsai Yin Wen attended the opening ceremony reaffirming her commitment and our nation’s determination to bring equality and significance to women issues and agenda in our society’s mentality and policymaking. The NCW of Taiwan, ROC was especially gratified to have welcomed so many international women leaders from many parts of the world to Taiwan showing them our beautiful island and our friendly, generous people. We have all gained many new friendships from this interaction.

On the auspicious occasion of NCW’s General Assembly 2017, I wish to extend my best wishes to the organization as we join hands to fulfill our pledge to serve society and our nation with dedication and devotion.
