VI. Conclusion and Recommendations Articles 1 to 5 and Article 24 of CEDAW form the overall interpretative framework for states’ obligations. This framework must be applied when discussing the government’s obligations regarding the substantive rights outlined in Articles 6 to 16 of CEDAW. 67 CEDAW requires state parties to respect, protect, promote, and fulfill the rights of all women to equality and non-discrimination. Paragraph 37 of General Recommendation No. 28 further elaborates on the appropriate measures that states should take to fulfill these obligations. Regarding this appeal case, the NHRC reviewed the dress codes of the Taiwanese airlines based on CEDAW regulations to determine whether gender discrimination exists. Additionally, the NHRC assessed whether the government has fulfilled its obligations to eliminate discrimination and promote equality under CEDAW. After interviewing the cabin crew and airline representatives, and consulting with experts, scholars, nongovernmental organizations, and officials from the relevant authorities, the NHRC has put forward the following conclusions and recommendations: 1. Taiwanese airline cabin crew dress codes constitute gender discrimination prohibited by CEDAW In 1998, the International Civil Aviation Organization officially changed the term “flight attendants” to “cabin crew,” reflecting a shift in the roles and functions of these professionals. A comprehensive review of Article 2, Subparagraph 11, and Articles 188–191 of the Aircraft Flight Operation Regulations shows that cabin crew’s duties and professional requirements prioritize flight safety and executing emergency evacuations over cabin service. The Civil Aviation Administration also advocates that “the primary professional requirement for cabin crew in terms of flight safety lies in their proficiency with emergency and survival equipment, as well as their ability to carry out emergency procedures in response to emergency situations.” 68 67 Referenced Paragraph 6 of General Recommendation No. 25 of CEDAW and Paragraph 7 of General Recommendation No. 28. 68 As explained in Jiao-Hang (I) Letter No. 1128130087 dated November 29, 2023 85
