On 14 May 2023, the EOC premiered its new short movie series, “Under the Same Sky”, on ViuTV CH.99. Produced by cross-media producer Mr Steven MA Chun-wai, the series showcases eight touching stories that depict various forms of prejudice and discrimination based on disability, race, breastfeeding, sexual harassment, pregnancy, family status, mental illness, and students with special educational needs (SEN). The film is produced in Cantonese with Chinese and English sub-titles.

On 28 April 2023, the EOC kicked off the “Racially Friendly Customer Services for All” bus body advertising campaign. As well as raising public awareness about the importance of providing racially friendly services, the six-week campaign serves to encourage goods and service providers to cater to the needs of diverse customers in an equal and friendly manner.

Carers are the unsung heroes of our society. The EOC is pleased to become a co-organiser of the Carer Awareness Day Conference, which is initiated by the Baptist Oi Kwan Social Service (BOKSS) and various carer-focused organisations to show support for carers.
