About the project

In the present era of globalization, the flow of population across national borders has accelerated due to economic and political influences. Immigration to Taiwan has rapidly increased since the 1990s, and this group has integrated into Taiwan's population. Most of those immigrants are women with transnational marriages. The difficulties facing immigrant women are the language barrier with Chinese and the conflation of class and race.

To address such social problems, the Taiwanese government established literacy education to help spouses and children adapt to their new lives. However, discrepancies remain within the promotion strategy of public acknowledgment and the most appropriate promotion approach to reach immigrant women. This project will integrate interviews with Taiwanese immigrant women and social workers to understand current situations. Furthermore, I will analyze Taiwan's social support system and establish an efficient approach to the problem utilizing the communicative power of graphic design and publicity. This project intends to understand the challenges and difficulties facing immigrant women moving to Taiwan and create an optimized methodology with the implemented publicity to assist Taiwan immigrant woman.

Project Research

I wish I could learn more Chinese when I try to talk with my mother-in-law about Vietnamese food culture. 
 

I wish I could meet with my social worker frequently and talk to him about the fight with my husband.

I wish I could gain experience from other immigrants and share my feelings who have similar circumstances.
