Abstract
This paper examines the dynamics of the "gender framing" process in the women’s Anti-Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreements (CSSTA) movement in Taiwan. The anti-CSSTA movement established a gender frame for its action against the CSSTA, including the diagnostic frame of dubbing CSSTA as "gender blind", and the prognostic frame of demanding a Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) as a solution. By proposing a parallel gender frame, in addition to the major claims decided on by the core caucus of the Sunflower Movement, the women’s anti-CSSTA movement maintained its alliances with both feminist allies and the caucus. During this framing process, law played a significant role both as a resource and as a constraint. The developing proposals and practices under international trade and human rights provide rich resources for the gender frame. Nevertheless, Taiwan’s local legal framework limits the options available for possible solution.
