AP. 8 March 2003. Taiwanese women's rights groups protest against Iraq war. TAIPEI -- Taiwanese women's rights groups marked International Women's Day Saturday by protesting against a possible war in Iraq. Standing outside Taiwan's Foreign Ministry, dozens of women shouted slogans and called on Taiwan's government to oppose a war. Taiwan's government has not taken a public stance on Iraq, but has repeatedly expressed support for the U.S.-led war on terror. The protesters read out an anti-war declaration, expressing solidarity with Iraqi women. The protesters called on Taiwan to provide humanitarian aid to Iraqi women and children in the event of war. "In war, women are always the victim, and once war is over, they have to bear responsibility for reconstruction as well," activist Wu Wei-ting said. One elderly woman who was forced into prostitution by the Japanese during World War II spoke of the horrors of war. The protesters concluded their rally by holding up roses and forming the words "No War" in the direction of the Presidential Office, which is near the Foreign Ministry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
