What should you do first after sexual violence? Should evidence be frozen? Reports of sexual assault are nearing ten thousand a year; is seeking medical care after 3 days too late?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
台灣事實查核中心 debunked social media rumors about collecting evidence after sexual violence. Doctors advise against trying to collect evidence by bathing at home and recommend going directly to a hospital to preserve evidence. Victims should not blame themselves if they seek medical care within days of the incident.
Facts
According to statistics from 衛福部保護服務司, the number of reported victims of assault in Taiwan in recent years has been around 8,000 to 9,500, showing a slight upward trend.
勵馨基金會 advises that anyone who has unfortunately experienced sexual assault should avoid changing clothes, bathing or disturbing the scene, and should go to a hospital immediately for treatment and an examination.
Lee Yi-kung, director of the emergency department at 嘉義大林慈濟醫院, said that to preserve evidence, people should call 110 or 113, or go directly to a hospital, and should not bathe first.
The U.S. Department of Justice’s National Protocol for Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examinations says that evidence such as blood, urine or tampons may need to be refrigerated, and freezing is recommended only in rare cases.
Doctors say air-dried swabs and similar items should be kept dry; refrigeration can cause condensation, and freezing evidence is not standard practice in Taiwan.

Is it possible to receive NT$50,000 a month in labor insurance pension? More than half of workers get less than NT$20,000; experts reveal “3 key steps” to qualify
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Labor Insurance Bureau statistics show that the number of people claiming old-age labor insurance pensions in 2025 exceeded 2.01 million, with benefits clustered at opposite ends of the spectrum. Experts explain that receiving NT$50,000 a month—the “king of labor insurance pensions”—requires 3 conditions: a high insured salary, a long contribution history and delayed claims. They also warn that delaying a claim only pays off if the recipient lives long enough.
Facts
The number of people claiming old-age labor insurance pensions in 2025 topped 2 million for the first time, reaching 2,015,310.
As many as 53.55%, or about 1.08 million retired workers, receive less than NT$20,000 a month in old-age pension benefits.
Receiving NT$50,000 a month in labor insurance pension generally requires 3 key factors: the maximum insured salary, an exceptionally long working career, and delayed claims combined with CPI adjustments.
The extra 20% from delaying a claim by 5 years would take until around age 95 to break even with the total benefits from claiming at the regular age.
Workers who first joined labor insurance on or after Jan. 1, ROC year 98, are not legally allowed to choose a lump-sum payment.
Labor insurance contribution history under 15 years: Can retirement benefits only be claimed as a lump sum? A guide to monthly dual pensions: actual amounts and how work interruptions are calculated
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
The Ministry of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Insurance clarified that people with less than 15 years of labor insurance contributions can still claim dual pensions if their combined years of labor insurance and National Pension coverage reach 15 years, and explained the rules for counting contribution years and estimating benefit amounts.
Facts
Starting in 2026, the statutory claiming age for old-age labor insurance pensions will rise to 65.
The first formula for calculating the old-age labor insurance pension is the average monthly insured salary multiplied by years of labor insurance coverage, multiplied by 0.775%, plus NT$3,000.
For workers covered by the new labor pension system, employers must contribute at least 6% of wages each month to the worker’s individual account.
The average monthly insured salary used to calculate the old-age labor insurance pension is generally based on the average of the 60 highest monthly insured salaries during the coverage period.
People aged 25 or older but under 65 who are registered as residents in Taiwan and are not covered by another social insurance program are generally required to join the National Pension.
