Resources for domestic violence, stalking, etc

This thread is for practical information relating to domestic violence, stalking, threats, etc. (If you would like to share a long story, please start a new thread.)

I’ve done a quick search through past threads and found some stories but no quick, easy information, so I’ll start with this:

[edit: broken link removed]

People are encouraged to report if finding any improper treatment for children or juvenile, such as abuse, negligence, or abandoning. Please dial 113, the nation-wide woman and children protection network, or report in department or bureau of social affairs in the city government of special municipality and county (city) governments.

I understand you can also apply for a restraining order, but I don’t know the details of how that works.

Added: I think the current link of the site introduced in the OP is the below.

At the bottom of the site, phone numbers of County/City Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Prevention Centers (Networks) of the nation are listed.

Stalking now a crime in Taiwan. Well that’s a bit of a relief.

Maybe the building Grandma will reconsider asking me about my salary or age or whatever information she’s trying to find about about me every time we meet on the elevator.

Almost…

The Stalking and Harassment Prevention Act (跟蹤騷擾防制法 ) will take effect six months after promulgation.

It hasn’t made it into the MOJ’s main law database yet.

Just saw this topic for the first time. Just wanted to add that I can confirm the Garden of Hope has native English speaker staff, made a call once for a friend when I was living in Taiwan.

Reviving this thread to remind all forumosans that a new anti-stalking law was finally passed in Taiwan late last year and is now—in mid-2022—in effect:

Some dangerous-sounding twit in Yilan apparently didn’t get the memo:

The Legislative Yuan on Tuesday [2023-11-21] passed amendments to the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (家庭暴力防治法) to grant police permission to arrest abusive partners who do not live with the victim, as well as expand the scope of protective orders.
