The full name of the Women's Federation is "Taiwan Women's Federation". It is the longest-standing and most influential women's organization on the island. It was founded in April 1950 and was founded by Soong Mei-ling. Since then, she has served as the chairman of the Women's Federation for a long time. The purpose of the Women's Federation is to unite women on the island so that Taiwanese military officers and soldiers have no worries. The specific deeds include the establishment of sewing factories, mother-time workshops, broadcasting of military films and donating to build family houses. In 1990, the Women's Federation applied to establish a political group in accordance with the People's Organization Law, and its main work has gradually changed from labor to social welfare. In recent years, the group has played an important role in the exchanges between the women's circles across the Taiwan Strait.
Women's Federation has built schools and opened hospitals. Contributions to charity
In the long-term operation, the Women's Federation has accumulated huge assets, which has become a piece of fat in the eyes of the DPP. In fact, as early as 2003, the Banish "government" had contacted Gu Zhenfu and demanded that the Women's Federation be confiscated about 70 billion yuan (NT$, the same below) assets be confiscated, but it was not accepted.
Tsai Ing-wen also took action against the Women's Federation after she came to power. She first identified it as an affiliated organization of the Kuomintang, and then asked it to transform into politics. Party. The Women's Federation decided not to transform at the end of 2019.

The main income of the Women's Federation is donation from labor force. It has been collected for 34 years since 1955, and a total of about 100 billion yuan was raised. According to the "Income Tax Law" at that time, manufacturers imported goods. When handling foreign exchange settlement, every USD 1 dollar is "automatically donated, starting with NT$50, and later it was reduced to NT$30,000 and NT$20. For a long time, the main reason for the Green Camp attacking the Women's Federation is that there is no legal basis for donating the military, lack of supervision on the use of funds, and donations are fed to private pockets.
However, Zheng Peifen believes that the DPP's accusations lack evidence because the Women's Federation has rigorous accounting and audit mechanisms within it; in addition, most of the Women's Federation cadres are well-known figures , such as Gu Zhenfu’s wife Gu Yanzhuoyun, Lian Zhan’s wife Lian Fangyu, and Qian Fu’s wife Tian Lingling, the former head of the supervisory agency, these people live without any worries and should not be greedy for the property of the Women’s Federation. After the establishment of
, the Women’s Federation used the labor force to donate many things, of which the majority of the expenses were donations to build family houses. According to media disclosure, the organization assisted in the establishment of 176 military villages in total, accounting for one fifth of the total number of military villages on the island, allowing 53,000 families to have a house to live in. In the 1990s, Later, the Women's Federation began to transform public welfare, such as building schools, kindergartens, hospitals, etc. in various places, and also set up scholarships and subsidies for nutritional lunches.
Women's Federation is the "stakes" of the Blue Army. The DPP wants to eradicate the contributions of the
Women's Federation in public welfare cannot be erased. After the DPP came to power, the DPP still decided to attack it. Faced with the pressing step by step, Gu Yanzhuoyun, who was over 90 years old, personally refuted it and said that if the Women's Federation had done anything Sorry for Taiwanese society, unfaithfulness and filial piety, and sorry for the people, "please bring it up." Gu Yan Zhuoyun believes that the DPP authorities besieged the Women's Federation today because the Women's Federation has some money.
. According to Zheng Peifen's analysis, the reason why the Tsai administration wanted to label the Women's Federation as an affiliated organization of the Kuomintang and conduct liquidation was because the Women's Federation has a very close relationship with the Kuomintang and its organization is also quite close. According to statistics, at its heyday, the Women's Federation had a total of 34 institutions studying The school branch, 23 local county and city branches and 3 overseas branches, and there are 349 county and city-affiliated branches and 133 directly affiliated military village work teams, with a membership of up to 250,000. During elections, the Kuomintang often conducts auxiliary elections through organizations at all levels of the Women's Federation.

KMT has long won the Democratic Progressive Party in terms of women's votes, and the Women's Federation has made an indelible contribution. Zheng Peifen believes that the Women's Federation was recognized by the DPP as the "study foot" of the KMT, so it must be eradicated. The Women's Federation announced that it would donate 70% of its assets for charity, but the Taiwan authorities still refused to give up and asked it to donate all its assets. In response, former Kuomintang "legislator" Li Yanxiu also criticized that if the Tsai administration has always viewed many groups with a chasing mentality, "transformation justice" would not be successful. Some scholars on the island are worried that the DPP would slash at the Women's Federation with a knife, which may harm the development of public welfare.
In order to cope with the upcoming crisis of dissolution, overseas members of the Women's Federation launched a 10,000-person signing activity on the 24th, hoping that all walks of life would rescue the Women's Federation. Lei Qian, the current chairman of the Women's Federation, also shared the signing letter on Facebook yesterday, hoping to rescue the Women's Federation, which is in danger. However, in the face of the DPP authorities in full power, the outside world is mostly pessimistic about the self-rescue behavior of the Women's Federation.
