Strategic approach key to advancing equality, writes EOC Chairperson
In an article published in Ming Pao Daily News, Inmedia, Stand News and South China Morning Post this month, EOC Chairperson, Mr Ricky CHU Man-kin explained how his extensive experience in public service echoes the values and work of the EOC, as well as his vision for the Commission.
Inspiring Mr Chu’s previous work at the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Independent Police Complaints Council was an unflinching belief in building a fair and just society that is free from corruption and abuse of power. “That same commitment to righting social wrongs underlies the work of the EOC, as we pledge to combat prejudice and discrimination against marginalised groups,” wrote Mr Chu. “What’s more, leading the Commission to deliver real impact on Hong Kong’s equality landscape requires not only a passion for social justice, but also solid expertise and practical experience – in handling complaints, spearheading research, and lobbying parties to bridge differences.”
Because of entrenched prejudice and polarised debates, the fight for equal opportunity may often reach a stalemate on various fronts. As an avid Go player, Mr Chu believes the key lies in adopting a strategic mindset and making the right connections. He wrote, “My vision is for the Comission to go beyond being an advocate of change, and actively create the conditions favourable for progress... I am confident that under my leadership, the EOC will make the necessary moves in bringing different sectors together to foster a truly pluralistic and inclusive society in Hong Kong.”
