For the second time, the EOC is joining hands with Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) Radio 1 on a campaign to promote inclusion of people with disabilities (PWDs) and understanding of the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (DDO). Entitled “Embracing Social Inclusion Project”, the initiative has received the support of 22 rehabilitation groups and NGOs promoting the rights of PWDs across Hong Kong.

Under the campaign, there will be radio segments introducing the daily lives of PWDs, aired during the “Care for Disabled” programme every Sunday (1-2pm) from March to October 2019. There will also be a drama series on the accessible living of PWDs on the “Happy Daily” programme from 6-10 May 2019 (10:20am – 12nn), and interviews with celebrities and PWDs on disability issues on the “Yes We Can” programme, broadcast every Sunday (12 midnight to 2am) from December 2018 to October 2019. All of the radio segments and drama series can be listened live or found on RTHK’s website.

Each year, complaints about disability discrimination, particularly in the employment field, take up more than half – the largest share – of the complaints received by the EOC under the anti-discrimination ordinances. The EOC hopes that the radio campaign can shed light on the needs and challenges of PWDs, their frustrations as well as aspirations, with a view to motivating the community to embrace inclusion of PWDs.
