Promoting Migrant Workers’ Mental Health through Local and International Exchange

“The Taiwanese Kartini: Building Psychological Resilience for Indonesian Migrant Women” is a project that addresses parenting and mental health challenges faced by Indonesian women working in Taiwan. Through collaboration with the local Muslim women’s group SALIMA, the project engaged in community outreach and organized both online and in-person educational events and lectures. It also facilitated international exchanges on migrant-related issues to expand dialogue and awareness. In 2023, the project focused on two key areas: strengthening local organizations and action hubs, and fostering international partnerships and dialogue—enhancing both grassroots engagement and global connectivity.

  • The project used a variety of formats—including workshops, forums, symposiums, and lectures—to raise public awareness and encourage cross-disciplinary discussions on migrant mental health.
