HER Fund is now inviting you to join our coming Grantee Visit to Women Coalition of HKSAR (WCHK) on 15 June 2013 (Sat), in order to know more about HER grantee and grant project. WCHK is a civil organization that protects sexual minority rights from a female perspective. Her mission is to eliminate discrimination and oppression from sexual orientation and gender identity.

Last year, legislator Cyd Ho’s motion of public consultation on equal rights for sexual minorities was vetoed in the LegCo, which disappointed lots of sexual minorities’ rights supporters. HER Fund supports WCHK’s Project of Equal Working Environment for Sexual Minorities, which will train lesbian as ambassador to promote “Tong Chi (Sexual Minorities) Friendly Working Environment” to different organizations and companies, from conveying the concepts to providing execution suggestions. Aim to gain support from employers in equal employment opportunity for sexual minority and to pursue advocating the legislation.

HER Fund decided to raise our grant amount this year, hoping to support our grantees to carry out their projects in a more feasibleand daring way! In seeing the importance of sustaining the changes made, HER Fund continues our supports to 5 of our grantees from last year.

Click here to read our latest "HER News" to get the brief introduction of the 9 projects and other HER Fund news.

'HER Talent Performance Show 2013 – It's HERs, It's OURs!' was held successfully on 10th March 2013 at the Youth Square in Chai Wan. The event raised over $110,000 for HER Fund to support marginalized women's groups and projects in Hong Kong, for advancing women's human rights and gender equality.

The Show opened with, Mary Ann Pui Wai King, our Chairperson sharing that she felt deeply that everything in the world was inter-connected, so gender equality is affecting us all in society, so, it is everyone’s business. She thanked everyone's support to the Show and to HER Fund. And our celebrity, the unique masked singer and internet sensation, Ms. Lung Siu Kwan, shared her personal experience that growing up in a grassroots family, she was happy to give back to the society; she also felt that lots of working women need to bare double burden of work and domestic work under gender stereotype. She appealed to our audience to support HER Fund, so that more women can live independently and with autonomy. Siu Kwan then performed two beautiful songs, one of the songs was especially meaningful addressing "compensated dating girls".

Performers Showed Excellent Talents and Loving Hearts

Our performers, including: "Power Star" and "Dancing Shero", which were two groups of Share Talent Line Dance class teachers and students; "Fan Ka Chun and Yeung Hiu Tung" and "Talent Mill" who were from Hong Kong College of Technology; Child Dance Group "Coby Coby Dance", Salsa Dance perfect partner, "Mr & Mrs", and "Kikibaby Funky Dance Group" led by Belly Dance teacher Kiki Ho, fully showed their talents and enthusiasm through the wonderful performances. "Power Star" continued to succeed "Highest Fund Raising Prize", while the "Most Enthusiastic Fund Raising Prize" went to "Talent Mill" and "Dancing Shero", Congratulations!

This year, we invited 4 voluntary Guest Performers, they are "Y. Tick Entertainment & Production" who performed an amazing and amusing "Magic Show with Love”; “BIG Sammy", rapper from Justice League; "Traditional Taekwondo Association" who performed female self-defense skills; and "Just Acappella" who had a gifted wonderful voice. Their performances heated the floor !

Gender Equality and Women's Human Rights are for All

"It's HERs, It's OURs!" is the theme of the Show, because gender equality is for, not only women. For example, working father could not spend time with their new born baby and family, just because the traditional division of labor for men is in the public zone. More, there is always a "SHE" besides you, e.g. your mother, sisters, daughters...

Last but not the least, HER Fund appreciates all our supporters and wonderful partners ! Including: our Honorary celebrity, Ms. Lung Siu Kwan, and her manager Dean Siu; our sponsors: BOBBI BROWN, The Green Pagoda Press Ltd., RTR, Talent 100, Kiki Ho, and Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd.; Our amazing performers and guest performers; volunteer MC - Ingrid Lam; and all volunteers: Manuel, Sina, Kaka, Man Yi, Juliana, Stephen, Mindy, and Cheung Yan.

HER Fund is proud to be the beneficiary of Bobbi Brown's Pretty Powerful Campaign for Women & Girls launching on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2013!

“Pretty Powerful symbolizes my belief that all women are pretty, and with the right tools, are empowered to a higher level of pretty – it’s about being confident and about being who you are,” says Bobbi Brown.

Please buy a Pot Rouge with your friend at Bobbi Brown's counter to support HER Fund and more women will be able to increase their confident! You can click here to get more information.
