This thesis explores some of the principal features of gender equality centered on experiences and good practice as implemented in the Republic of China (Taiwan), and how a model of equality and gender equality has become institutionalized there. The study focuses on the model itself, as well as the challenges it faces and the opportunities those challenges offer. Specifically, the study addresses the role of women in Taiwanese society since the abolition of Martial Law in 1987 up to the present day, through a review of public policies implemented by the government. These policies are found to be the basis for a multidisciplinary development of Taiwanese society, especially in the political, economic, educational and social areas, and areas are identified where major achievements have been made, while others are still lacking. Finally, some recommendations are offered on the basis of the research, which suggest that Taiwan ought to represent a reference model for social development in the context of gender equality, not only in the region but also worldwide.
