Reference Manual for Building Gender-Friendly Dormitories in Universities and Colleges Issued by the Ministry of Education (Provided by MOE)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To continuously promote the creation of gender-friendly campus environments in higher education institutions, the Ministry of Education (MOE) issued the Reference Manual for Building Gender-Friendly Dormitories in Universities and Colleges today (26th). Commissioned by the MOE, the manual was co-authored by the Taiwan Gender Equity Education Association (TGEEA), Professor Pi Heng-da, and Professor Lin Mei-chun. Through domestic and international literature review, on-site visits, and case analysis, the manual outlines the development history, current situation, and future planning directions of gender-friendly dormitories in Taiwan. It provides concrete references across various dimensions\u2014including overall policy, application processes, physical spaces, dormitory management, and student self-governance\u2014to assist universities in gradually constructing an accommodation environment that balances safety, privacy, respect, and diversity and inclusion based on their campus conditions and student needs. The manual has been synchronously published on the MOE Gender Equity Education Global Information Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Ministry of Education (MOE), it previously issued the Guidelines for Gender-Friendly Restrooms and Dormitories on Campuses and established the Principles for Handling Gender-Friendly Student Dormitory Assignments in Universities and Colleges on July 15, 2022. These measures encourage schools to move away from using biological sex as the sole basis for housing arrangements. Instead, schools are urged to prioritize individual student needs, privacy, and safety, while gradually reducing unnecessary gender segregation in dormitory spaces. As universities have rolled out these initiatives, the MOE noted that each institution has developed unique approaches to institutional and spatial planning, shaped by their distinct campus cultures, dormitory models, architectural conditions, and student demands. Consequently, the MOE compiled domestic and international experiences, along with practical university case studies, to create this manual as a comprehensive reference for schools implementing gender-friendly housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding spatial planning, the manual introduces various housing models, such as gender-segregated rooms on the same floor and gender-inclusive apartment-style suites, while featuring practical case studies from domestic universities. For instance, National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) adopts \"gender-segregated rooms on the same floor\" arranged in an alternating, checkered layout. National Chengchi University (NCCU) implements \"gender-inclusive apartment-style suites,\" where students form groups to apply and draw lots together; once selected, students coordinate room assignments among themselves within the suite without university intervention. Additionally, the central reading area at Taipei Medical University's (TMU) Shuangho Dormitory combines a study space that helps bridge the sense of distance between genders. Through these diverse institutional experiences, schools can gain a deeper understanding of the unique features of various spatial configurations and management styles. Furthermore, the manual utilizes a Q&A format to address practical challenges schools might encounter when implementing gender-friendly housing. This helps institutions master key handling principles, ensuring feasibility and thoroughness throughout the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Education (MOE) stated that the core spirit of establishing gender-friendly dormitories is not to mandate a single or uniform housing format across all institutions. Instead, it aims to guide schools in rethinking their housing systems and spatial utilization. The goal is to construct an accommodation environment that responds to diverse gender needs, balances housing safety with personal privacy, and fosters equality and inclusion. Each school can adopt a step-by-step, incremental approach based on its own campus conditions. For instance, universities can start with the shared use of existing dormitory common spaces, and gradually progress to models such as gender-segregated floors within the same building, segregated zones on the same floor, or segregated rooms on the same floor. These models can then be fine-tuned through rolling adjustments based on student demands and actual housing experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Education (MOE) anticipates that the Reference Manual for Building Gender-Friendly Dormitories in Universities and Colleges will serve as a practical reference for higher education institutions. It aims to assist schools in comprehensive planning across policy, institutional, spatial, and educational dimensions, while gradually improving campus housing environments through cross-institutional case sharing. Looking ahead, the MOE will continue to push for gender-friendly campus environments, ensuring that the philosophy of gender equity is integrated into all aspects of campus life. By fostering substantive gender equality, the MOE hopes to work together with institutions to create a safe, respectful, diverse, and inclusive campus for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
