【vGCTF：強化全球及各國防災韌性】

AIT處長孫曉雅今天偕同科技部部長吳政忠、外交部次長曾厚仁、日本台灣交流協會代表泉裕泰、英國在台辦事處代表鄧元翰，以及澳洲辦事處代表露珍怡共同參加全球合作暨訓練架構線上國際研討會(vGCTF)「強化全球及各國防災韌性」。

AIT處長孫曉雅於開幕致詞中強調：「在救災與災害應變的議題上，美國會致力與我們的夥伴攜手合作。在英國康瓦爾舉行的七國峰會（G7）中，拜登總統與合作夥伴一同宣布了他們對全球基礎建設發展的一致願景，並共同推出了『重建更好世界』（Build Back Better World）倡議。『重建更好世界』是一項價值導向、高標準、透明的基礎建設夥伴關係，目的在動員基礎建設投資，將其導入中低收入國家，以支持這些地方各項基礎建設的永續發展，包括氣候、衛生與衛生安全、科技、及兩性公平與性別平等等領域。這些都是缺一不可的關鍵要素，能夠大大增進各社會與經濟體的防災韌性。」

Today, AIT Director Sandra Oudkirk, Minister of Science and Technology Wu Tsung-Tsong, Deputy Foreign Minister Tseng Ho-jen, Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association Chief Representative Hiroyasu Izumi, British Office Representative John Dennis, and Australia Office Representative Jennifer Bloomfield participated in a virtual Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) workshop titled “Building Disaster Resilience at Global and National Levels.” In her opening remarks, Director Oudkirk highlighted, “The United States is committed to working with partners on disaster relief and response. At the G7 meeting in Cornwall, President Biden and partners announced a unified vision for global infrastructure development and introduced the Build Back Better World initiative. Build Back Better World is a value-driven, high-standard, and transparent infrastructure partnership aimed at mobilizing infrastructure investments in low- and middle-income countries to support sustainable infrastructure development in the areas of climate, health and health security, technology, and gender equity and equality.”

Thank you YB Hannah Yeoh

Media Statement By Hannah Yeoh Dated 4 December 2020

I refer to the statement made by the Deputy Home Minister, Ismail Mohamed Said as reported by Malaysiakini in a news report entitled “M'sian women cannot confer nationality on children due to national security”.
https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/553595

(1) This is an archaic law and policy discriminating even our very own Malaysian women.

(2) During our 22 months in Putrajaya, our Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Dato’ Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail wrote to the Home Minister asking for this to be reformed. No positive feedback from the Home Minister then who is the current Prime Minister.

(3) This conservative policy hurts the children of Malaysian women. They should rightfully be Malaysians.

(4) This discriminatory policy reduces options for Malaysian women seeking divorces, protection or relief because it assumes the presence of the father figure in a happy family setting. The reality is not like that for many Malaysian women. Those who have to leave their union are often stuck between a rock and a hard place because their children do not have citizenship in their homeland.

(5) Malaysian women bring equal contribution to our economy and social development and they ought to be treated like their male counterparts.

(6) Citizenship should be granted to every child whose either parent or adopted parent is Malaysian, regardless of the marital status of the parent and the gender of the Malaysian parent or the place of birth of the child; including foundling children.

(7) The Home Ministry must expedite reform in this area especially in the Covid-19 pandemic era because many seeming options for travel as to the place of giving birth were no options to begin with due to the shutting of our borders.

(8) Let me remind the Home Ministry that what is of a greater threat to national security is corruption within their enforcement system as seen in the recent arrest of immigration and police officers. Innocent children cannot and will not be a danger to our nation.

你知道女性醫療專業人士在疫情期間扮演不可或缺的角色嗎？新冠肺炎不只提醒了我們，全球衛生是各國共同的安全考量，同時也暴露了國際間與各國內部健康與社會制度的不平等，其中當然包括了性別不平等，而這些不平等弱化了我們危機處理的效率與能力。

提倡女性賦權一直是美國在台協會的重要目標之一，也是美台共享價值，我們很高興與您分享一場線上論壇【女性與世界衛生安全】，這場活動由「外交政策雜誌」、「女性與全球健康」以及「華格納基金會」共同主辦。這場論壇是一個充滿活力的高階線上峰會，強調在世界衛生安全領域，我們迫切需要性別翻轉的政策。

Did you know that women medical professionals have been an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic? The pandemic has not only been a stark reminder of the shared security concern on the global health, also exposed deep inequalities across health and social systems at global and national levels, including gender disparities, that weaken our ability to respond effectively.

Promoting women’s empowerment has always been one of AIT’s focus and an important U.S.-Taiwan shared values. We are pleased to share an information about a virtual forum “Women in Global Health Security” organized by Foreign Policy magazine, Women in Global Health and the Wagner Foundation. The program is a dynamic, high-level digital summit illuminating the need for gender-transformative policy within global health security.

Digital Minister and self-taught coding whiz Audrey Tang shares her unconventional life story – from gender identity to hacktivism, why she chose the name “Audrey 唐鳳,” and what conservative anarchism means to her.

Having come of age together with Taiwanese democracy and the Internet, Tang relates how she took her education online after dropping out of junior high. Since then, Tang has striven to make knowledge as accessible, transparent, and collaborative as possible. She explains how open data initiatives (e.g. vTaiwan, g0v) can help citizens build consensus, participate in the legislative process, and ultimately, govern themselves.

Today’s episode is hosted by J.R. Wu - Chief of the Secretariat for INDSR (Institute for National Defense and Security Research) in Taiwan. Wu is a former journalist with nearly two decades of media experience in the US and Asia. She has led news bureaus for Reuters and Dow Jones.
