Women in Taiwan

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

What's life like as a single woman in Taiwan? We hear women in Taiwan respond to an article in Chinese state media that said Taiwan's new leader Tsai Ing-wen has an "extremist style" because she is unmarried. Also, we hear reaction to Russia releasing the jailed Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko as part of a prisoner swap. She had become a symbol of resistance against Moscow.
