HER Fund Charity Screening “A Woman is a Woman”

Sexually marginalized communities tend to experience multiple forms of discrimination. Of particular concern is discrimination against transgender women (hereafter “transwomen”), who often find themselves rejected and abandoned by their family members. In an attempt to help transgender individuals to speak out, HER Fund is organizing a charity screening of the film A Woman is a Woman for both public education and fundraising purposes. All net proceeds from the screening will be going to HER Fund’s work on grant-making and capacity building to promote gender equality.

This ground-breaking film on gender would not have been possible without HER Fund’s grantee partner Association of World Citizens Hong Kong China, which raised money for the film as well as monitored its shooting and production. The cast and production team included transwoman and professional artists who champion LGBT rights. Inspired by true events, the film highlights the struggles of transwomen for self-realization and social recognition as they combat social stigma and go through the process of transitioning.

(2) "A Transwoman is a Woman”: Her Real Woman Sharing

“Real Woman?” Is there any “fake woman”? In fact, there are all kinds of women in this world who, despite their differences, strive for self-realization against all odds.

Alice is a transwoman. Growing up in a Chinese family, she is also a Christian. She realized during puberty that she wanted to live her life as a woman. After years of self-struggle, she decided to transform her gender identity. Despite facing fierce objections from her family, church, friends and society, she persists and considers the decision the best choice she has made in life.

Alice will join us as the “human book” for this reading session. Through in-depth self-disclosure and interactions with audiences, Alice will show us the joy and pain of a resilient individual struggling for self-realization and social acceptance.

Date: 13/10 (Sat)
Time: 4-6pm
Language: Cantonese
