Hi Everyone- I want to share some great news with you.

Last year, I filed a case with the Taipei City Labor Department claiming that a well known cram school discriminated against me during the hiring process. The complaint was for:

1) discrimination against appearance
2) discrimination against birthplace (Taiwan)

I finally received the results of the case last week, and the court ruled in my favor for point 2, discrimination against birthplace. It wasn't an easy process, but I can say it was well worth my time. The school has been fined 100,000NT by the government and I know I did my part in changing things, if only by a little, in moving this discrimination and ignorance forward.

Last but not least, this is embarrassing but important to share.... upon finding out the results of this case I sat in my living room and hysterically bawled my eyes out. I didn't realize how much tension and stress I had been holding onto inside me. The court ruling has made me feel lighter in my everyday life, and I hope those of you out there who are in the position to DO SOMETHING will, as there is much more that needs to be done for change to occur.

Please support our group by joining us. It's a place for support and advice if you are in the same position. Thanks!
