To create a safer and more secure learning and living environment for children, the Taipei City Government has led Taiwan Coalition Against Violence, bringing together six key forces—the judiciary, law enforcement, education, social welfare agencies, after-school education providers, and parents to jointly advance a more comprehensive child protection
