Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights


The Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights (台灣伴侶權益推動聯盟, TAPCPR) is a Taiwanese non-governmental advocacy organization which advocates for the expansion of civil rights for same-sex couples, including same-sex marriage, civil partnerships, adoption rights and others. It was founded in 2009 by lawyer Victoria Hsu (born Hsiu-wen Hsu).

Among initiatives carried out by TAPCPR are launching a million-signature petition drive for the legalization of same-sex unions,[1] launching a Draft bill for consideration by the Legislative Yuan,[2] the Interior Ministry's recognition of transgender marriages[3] and taking a poll showing 50% support for same-sex marriage among Taiwanese people.[4]

TAPCPR endorsed Tsai Ing-wen's presidential election bid in 2012[5]
