The EOC has officially announced the launch of the 2023/24 Racially Friendly Campus Recognition Scheme for Schools. This initiative aims to encourage schools to promote racial inclusion among their students by organising student activities and publicity campaigns.

The EOC released a press statement on 5 September 2023 to express deep concerns over recent media reports of sexual harassment incidents at university orientation camps.

Applications are now open for the EOC’s 2023 fall training programme. On offer are three free-of-charge courses and seven fee-charging courses, running from October to December 2023.

EOC Chairperson Mr Ricky CHU Man-kin reaffirmed the EOC’s commitment to tackling pregnancy discrimination in an article published on the online media outlet HK01 on 1 September. The Sex Discrimination Ordinance (SDO) protects women from pregnancy discrimination in areas such as employment, and the provision of goods, facilities or services. It is unlawful for an employer to subject a woman to disadvantages or dismiss her on the grounds of her pregnancy.

The Mental Health Month initiative is a territory-wide campaign that encompasses a range of publicity and educational activities, with an aim to raise community awareness regarding mental health issues, encourage individuals to prioritise their mental health, and foster support for others.
