M es sa ge fr om Ex ec ut iv e Di re ct or
2014 is coming to an end and we are planning ahead. Christian
Action recently submitted a paper to the Equal Opportunity
Commission (EOC) in response to its public consultation
on Discrimination Law Review. The modification of the antidiscrimination ordinances will impact every citizen in Hong Kong,
including and especially ethnic minorities.
Ethnic minorities generally have a difficult time integrating with the
Hong Kong community. Many face regular racial discrimination
Mrs. Cheung-Ang
in their employment and education. We agree with the principal
Siew Mei, JP
mentioned under the ordinance that “the provisions regarding
protection from discrimination should be harmonized upwards to the same levels”. We
would like the government to align the new ordinance with the International Covenant
of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention against Torture (CAT).
The government still has a lot of work to do when it comes to protecting the rights of
ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. While they tackle this complex issue, Christian Action
will continue with our work, building bridges and breaking down barriers between ethnic
minorities and local Chinese, creating community and harmony in society.
Wishing you a joyful Christmas and a wonderful new year ahead!
So ci al Re so ur ce s Co rn er
The Equal Opportunities Commission is reviewing all of the discrimination laws to
consider how they can be improved to better prevent discrimination and promote
equality for everyone in Hong Kong. Currently there are 4 anti-discrimination ordinances:
The Sex Discrimination Ordinance (the “SDO”),
The Disability Discrimination Ordinance (the “DDO”),
The Family Status Discrimination Ordinance (the “FSDO”) and
The Racial Discrimination Ordinance (the “RDO”)
