Out of touch
The government's decision to leave ethnic minority children to struggle on their own in school without adequate language support is inexcusable, and society will be the big loser if it goes on.
Towards Equal Opportunities
The Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) wins the Directors of the Year Award from the Hong Kong Institute of Directors in recognition of its excellence in corporate governance and the professionalism of its Board of Directors, which has contributed to the gradual improvement in equal opportunities in everyday life.
Improving equal opportunities in Hong Kong
Mr Lam Woon Kwong, Chairperson of the Equal Opportunities Commission shares his thoughts with Hong Kong Lawyer about race and disability discrimination, gender equality and same-sex marriages in Hong Kong
Towards Equal Protection for All: Addressing Concerns from the LGBT Community
Due to the absence of legislation against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) does not have jurisdiction to investigate into the issues surrounding the Social Welfare Department’s recent training for social workers on working with gay and lesbian youths.
Power of One
Although true gender equity requires effort by all, Hong Kong women must take the lead to reject stereotypes and discrimination. History shows that every single act counts.
Cash Handout : What’s the problem?
The Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) believes that the fiscal surplus of the government is an asset of the public that should not be regarded and spent as “unexpected fortune”. The government should, following the well-established prudent practices in financial management, allocate the surplus to the most needed services.
Different but Equal
Our young people need to know that the Hong Kong dream is possible for all, whatever their ethnic background. Hong Kong has proudly claimed itself to be “Asia’s World City” – a nod, in part, to our racially diverse population.
Diversity Pays
Regardless of our background, we have a responsibility to care for others. Perhaps you are a parent to young children or a child of elderly parents. Perhaps you have a sibling who has a disability or a spouse who is chronically ill. The obligation to care for our family, in particular, runs deep in us.
