\nYou Go, Girl! will encourage women to break free from the shackles of social expectation and live out their lives as they wish. Moderator Lee Yu-hua advocates a different kind of education at home in which girls are encouraged to take chances and risk getting hurt. She will speak with three women of different professions: YOU Mei-nu, who has spent her whole life promoting law-based gender equality and human rights reform; LU Pi-chun, who entered the world of table tennis at the age of 42 and has represented Taiwan at the Paralympics; and HSU Ren-han, who, at the age of 26, became Taiwan's first woman to obtain an international license as a tree-climbing instructor. They will share their experiences and about how they support women and are working to make society more gender friendly from their positions in society.

\nHSU Ren-han|Certified Tree Worker Climber Specialist
\n\t\t |
HSU is the first woman in Taiwan to receive the international certificate for tree climbing. After winning first prize at the women's category of Taiwan Tree Climbing Championship, HSU went on to represent Taiwan in participating in international competitions held in the US. Ren-han states: "I never thought that someone like me, who is afraid of heights, afraid of the dark, and has a fear for death, will one day become a Certified Tree Worker Climber Specialist. Putting on the competition costume with our nation's flag is still a surreal experience." HSU’s experience has not only taught her the skills of tree climbing and allowed her to overcome her fear of heights, but it has also allowed her to becomes friends with a group of like-minded people. HSU genuinely hopes to create more possibilities on treetops.
