Chi Hui-Jung, CEO, The Garden of Hope Foundation; Chairperson, ANWS

Chi Hui-Jung has been the Chief Executive Officer of The Garden of Hope Foundation (GOH) since 1992. The Garden of Hope Foundation is a well-known social welfare foundation that focuses on women’s and girl’s issues.

Former journalist Chi has played a tremendous role at the forefront of social reform and child advocacy in Taiwan. Boldly addressing issues such as child prostitution, domestic violence and sexual abuse, Chi’s voice has compelled the government of Taiwan to take action. As a result, the anti child prostitution law was passed, helping keep an estimated 13,000 children out of the sex industry since 1992.

Chi also initiated the revitalization of GOH in 1992, transforming just one shelter into a network of counseling centers, outreach and job programs, short-term emergency shelters, long-term halfway houses and advocacy services. She oversaw the development of the Dandelion Treatment Center, where the youngest victims of sexual and domestic abuse can heal through interactive Sandplay Therapy and ultimately lead fulfilling lives.

Her efforts have also resulted in the Daughters of Formosa Award and the Daughters of Formosa Study Tour, programs that empower girls to use their talents and intelligence to impact others. Chi’s work has directly benefited the lives of 100,000 children in Taiwan and has spread to New York City where a Garden of Hope has been established. She leads an annual campaign to celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child in Asia, and is the chairperson of the Asian Network of Women’s Shelters.

Working with the Women Protection Center Coordination Committee as volunteer convinced me to continue in the field of Women Protection Program.

My passion toward serving the victims of gender-based violence led me to join UNFPA Gender unit as Technical Assistant for health sector response to the Gender-Based Violence program.  This program implemented by the Ministry of Public Health/ Gender Directorate in order to perform effectively.
