The EOC is calling for applications for the Racial Diversity & Inclusion Employers Award Scheme, which aims to recognise organisations that demonstrate a strong commitment to implementing policies and practices that create work environments ensuring inclusivity and equal opportunities for employees of all races. Applications are now open until 31 March 2025. All employers in Hong Kong are welcome to participate in the Award Scheme.

On 25 January 2025, the EOC hosted an orientation gathering to welcome a new cohort of 50 Equal Opportunity Youth Ambassadors (EOYAs). During the event, the EOYAs participated in ice-breaking activities and received a brief introduction on the anti-discrimination ordinances and the EOC’s work. Five alumni from previous cohorts also shared their experiences and gave words of encouragement to the new cohort.

EOC Chairperson Ms Linda LAM Mei-sau recently gave an interview to Rehab Express Magazine, a bimonthly publication from MentalCare Connect, a subsidiary of the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong.

Proficiency in Cantonese and understanding of local cultures are essential for non-ethnic Chinese children’s integration into Hong Kong society. CantoGather, a local non-governmental organisation, is offering two programmes focused on language and multicultural education to help these children enhance their language skills and intercultural competence. The EOC is proud to support the two initiatives.
