Suite 407-8 BACC, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, 939 Rama 1 Rd, Pathum Wan, Bangkok, Thailand, Bangkok 10330
Duration: 2 hr 30 min
Taiwanese companies are major players in global electronics manufacturing, bringing investment and economic opportunities to countries across Southeast Asia. But when businesses seek to “cut costs to the lowest possible level,” who bears those costs? How are workers affected, and what avenues for remedy are available when human rights violations occur?
Join us at SEA Junction on [date] for the launch and discussion of a new report by TTNC Watch, documenting the human rights impacts of Taiwanese business operations in Thailand. The report follows TTNC Watch’s 2024 report on Indonesia and its subsequent advocacy campaign calling for stronger business practices and government regulations in line with international human rights principles.
The discussion will explore the responsibilities of businesses and governments under the Business and Human Rights framework, including Taiwan’s National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights and its commitments to strengthen oversight of overseas investment, Human Rights Due Diligence, and access to effective remedy. The event will also provide an opportunity for civil society and participants to share perspectives and proposals on strengthening accountability for Taiwanese businesses operating abroad.
The presentation will be primarily in Thai, while the Q&A and session for hearing proposals will be conducted in both Thai and English. The report will be available in Thai, English, and Chinese.
The event will be held on-site only and will not be livestreamed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pelcx6335zuov2bi6kday2q6/bafkreigbz7fyyrzbplkrq66gjg5co5xf6bhcnutpqh2amyrwtjifgefj2i)

抗議北市警局不當執法！反對警察騷擾同志場所！
[[ 緊急行動，敬請轉發參加 ]]
地點：西門紅樓派出所前
時間：10/4 13:00 ~
十月三日下午，萬華分局西門町派出所突襲搜索台北市知名 BDSM 酒吧 Commander D。警方雖聲稱持有搜索票，但拒絕出示給現場民眾。對於現場有身心障礙人士甚至涉嫌歧視稱「殘障也可以做愛喔？」店長抗議警方行動結果遭「上銬」，甚至被要求下跪。記者也隨警察進入現場，視偵查不公開原則如敝屣。
搜索行動持續接近五小時，警方事後面對民眾質疑，卻聲稱「沒有搜索只是盤查」，更告訴民眾「有不滿就去提告」。
我們是一群在台北生活的酷兒。我們是一群在萬華讀書、戀愛、分手、做音樂、搞社運的人。我們反對臺北市警局之過激行動，並要求：
1. 針對萬華分局：交代行動原委，並且正式為員警執法行為時之態度與歧視性言論道歉。
2. 針對北市警局：應說明針對同志場所（Commander D、Hunt、Locker Room 等）進行歧視性執法之原委與正當性，並且咎責、道歉。
3. 針對北市府：針對今年多次歧視性執法，蔣萬安市長應說明其原委與意圖，同時應檢討北市府是否真的同志友善？
敬請各界朋友轉傳，並誠摯邀請各位酷兒與盟友，一起加入我們的抗議行動。](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pelcx6335zuov2bi6kday2q6/bafkreidc3s3gnrjygj77engeyhllnqtrhtqml346lq7w2osvcdodr2f6tm)
