The Pingtung County Government responds to Taiwan Girls' Day on October 11 every year by holding a special exhibition focusing on online gender-based violence, aiming to raise young people's awareness of the responsibilities of online speech.
In response to the "Taiwan Girls' Day" held on October 11 every year, the Pingtung County Government launched the 2026 Taiwan Girls' Day "You Think It's Just a Message" - a special exhibition on online gender-based violence that remains off-screen at the Pingtung County Youth Center Building 2. The exhibition was initiated by Pingtung County Children and Youth Representatives Zhu Yuxian and Chen Yicen, who transformed their profound observations of peers and life into exhibition language. They were created in collaboration with students from the Multimedia Design Department of Pingrong High School. The creative interactive installation is full of tension and thought-provoking.
The Social Affairs Department of Ping County Government pointed out that the most impressive thing at the exhibition was the transformation of cold laws and regulations into a large-scale physical "interactive keyboard". By reading the incident cases, the public can see the corresponding legal responsibilities behind it by opening the keyboard; a mind map was also used to dismantle the psychological impact of online harassment on victims. The audience is invited to put a post-it note in response to "If you have the courage, would you dare to speak out?" Through immersive interaction, it leads everyone to face the real pain behind the words, transforming serious legal issues into a dialogue space that directly touches people's hearts and has no sense of distance.

The exhibition unfolds in a five-stage context of "seeing, identifying, understanding, asking for help, and acting". Viewers of the exhibition can step by step identify the transgressions and discomforts behind the words from daily posts, and then open the "Legal Decryption" under the large interactive keyboard to face the legal responsibility of each keystroke. The exhibition also uses a mind map to dismantle the chain harm of online harassment to the victim's psychology, interpersonal relationships and life. It also provides warm and concrete evidence storage and help guidance. Finally, the audience is invited to leave words and graffiti on the mirror to jointly build a protective and safe boundary.
Director of Social Affairs Liu Meishu said that in a generation that has grown up with smartphones and online games, many malicious harassments and the distribution of private images are often easily packaged as "just joking", but the scars left on the parties are extremely real and long-lasting. "Screens have never been a blind spot between law and morality. There is often only a fine line between jokes and infringements." He calls on the public and parents to enter their children's digital world, jointly take responsibility for online speech, and replace indifference with understanding and companionship.
In addition to the static exhibition, there will be a theme workshop on the afternoon of October 3, and interested teenagers are invited to participate. In the workshop, children and youth representatives will personally serve as table leaders, leading peers to put aside their scruples and discuss their Internet experiences in depth, allowing the voices of young people to continue to echo and be generated in the exhibition venue. The special exhibition "You Thought It Was Just a Message" is open to visitors for free at the Pingtung Youth Center Hall 2 from now until October 23.
