00:00On International Women's Day, activists in Taiwan are calling for legal changes
00:04to give young sexual assault survivors more time to report cases.
00:22Earlier this year, Taiwan's cabinet approved a draft amendment
00:26that would extend the statute of limitations for sexual assault cases involving minors,
00:31with a countdown starting from when the survivor turns 20.
00:35Lawmakers are being urged to quickly review the bill.
00:38Authorities say it's meant to address cases where young survivors were unsure how
00:42or too afraid to report abuse.
00:45Civic groups are calling for experts from multiple fields
00:48to help encourage such survivors to come forward.
