Welcome to the official website of the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC).
As a statutory body independent from the Government, the EOC is tasked to enforce four anti-discrimination laws in Hong Kong, namely the Sex Discrimination Ordinance, the Disability Discrimination Ordinance, the Family Status Discrimination Ordinance, and the Race Discrimination Ordinance. From conciliating disputes to representing victims in court, empirical research to policy advocacy, corporate training to public education, we strive to dismantle prejudice, facilitate redress for discrimination, and promote values of equality, diversity and inclusion. On this website, you will learn more about your rights and obligations under the anti-discrimination laws. You will also find information on our services, studies, events and programmes. At some point in your life, you or someone you know may have fallen victim to discrimination at school, in the workplace or at a shop, whether on the grounds of sex, marital status, pregnancy, disability, family status or race. Indeed, discrimination is not an abstract concept. It happens in everyday settings, and its harm is real. The EOC is here to turn that around and, when needed, to question the status quo, propose legal reform, and stand up for causes even if they are deemed unpalatable by segments of society. If you have thoughts on how we can improve the site, be sure to let us know. We look forward to working with you in making Hong Kong a pluralistic and inclusive society we can all take pride in.
