The EOC has been nominated along with Allen & Overy as one of the finalists at the 2020 Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Awards under the category “LGBT+ Advocacy”.

A report commissioned by the EOC and released by Allen & Overy in June 2019 revealed that differential treatment between opposite-sex marriages and other alternative relationships, such as same-sex marriages, as well as opposite or same-sex cohabiting couples and civil partners, currently exists in as many as 21 areas of Hong Kong law. This impacts entitlement to inheritance and access to public housing and reproductive technology, among other aspects of daily life.

The report serves as a timely and valuable reference for the EOC and indeed any organisation committed to addressing discrimination against marginalised groups, including the LGBT+ community.

The award results will be announced on 30 July 2020 at the gala dinner hosted by Community Business.
