Women and Religion in Contemporary Taiwan
Resumo
Religion in general, and Christianity in particular, plays an ambiguous role in the issue of gender equality and women’s rights in Taiwan. While women are very often marginalized in traditional culture, religious reasons are also often used to reenforce gender inequality and discrimination in confirming the traditional gender roles in the family and religious institutions. However, religion is also a force for liberation of marginalized women in the work of some scholar-activists of religion and theology who struggle for gender justice. This article aims, on the one hand, to let the reader have a glimpse of the situation of women in Taiwan as reflected in these authors’ works, and, on the other hand, to show how they draw resources from religion and work for the rights and liberation of women in their society, through their advocacy and discussions on issues such as sexism, divorce and abortion.
