 Grassroots women and young women are learning the lobbying skill. |

Over 100 years on and women in Hong Kong, arguably China’s most internationalized city, have yet to exercise their rights and participate on an equal footing with men in all aspects of political and social life, according to Hong Kong Women's Coalition on Equal Opportunities. Sponsored by HER Fund, the Coalition launched a project in 2012 to empower women's political participation. The project aims to facilitate women – particularly those from marginalized or disadvantaged groups such as low-income laborers, housewives, sex workers and lesbians – to play a more active role in politics. |

| HER New Staff Member : Associate Development Officer – Kwok Ka Chai | |
|
Hello! My name is Kwok Ka Chai (Ka Chai). I am a new staff of HER Fund. I live near the Lion Rock. When I am free, I like to hike, jog and joke around. When I slow down, I often choose to read books and enjoy movies. However, simply the thought of shopping tires me out. I graduated from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the City University of Hong Kong, and I am interested in gender and women's issues. Many may think that Feminism is out of date, but to me, Feminism is an ideology that encompasses multiple possibilities and one which does not take things for granted. It encourages deep introspection and evaluation of past words and values. It also is action-oriented. Its revolutionary status and pursuit of equality are everlasting. |
