    Let's Not Be Afraid!

    TransAsia Sisters Association, Taiwan (TASAT) 2010 Taiwan Documentary color 43min Mandarin Beta SP
    More than 430,000 people from China and Southeast Asian countries marry to the Taiwanese and become “foreign espouse.” Many of them are women from poor families in rural areas in their native countries. Like everyone else, they dream for a happy marriage and a better future. However, when they arrive in Taiwan, they realize that they are treated as “others” who are strangled by the policies with discriminations. Marriage migrants in Taiwan demand nothing but respect and equality. Through years of empowerment, the members of the TransAsia Sisters Association, Taiwan (TASAT) realized that immigrants have to unite and fight for their rights. To encourage their fellow immigrants to join them, they shout, “My sisters, let’s not be afraid!”

    TransAsia Sisters Association, Taiwan (TASAT) was formally established in 2003. Yet, the origin of TASAT could be traced back to the “Foreign Brides Chinese Literacy Program,” founded at Meinung, Kaohsiung, 1995. The goals of TASAT are to help the immigrant women break through the isolated situation and become an active participant in the society. There are three major tasks in TASAT, namely, grassroots organizing, public education and policy advocacy.
