One year on: reforming the law to promote equality for breastfeeding women

One year on: reforming the law to promote equality for breastfeeding women

A year ago (19 June 2021), amendments to Hong Kong’s Sex Discrimination Ordinance designed to protect women from breastfeeding discrimination and harassment officially took effect.

As an employer, have you familiarised yourself with the law over the past year? Have you reviewed your policies to make sure they are not discriminatory against employees who breastfeed?

As a business providing goods, services or facilities, do you know what steps you can take to create a breastfeeding-friendly, harassment-free environment for your customers? 

The EOC has produced guidance booklets that can serve as both an introduction and refresher on the law for you. Click the links below to learn more.
