About This Cause
The Women’s Foundation was established in 2004 after a group of like-minded women and men identified the need for an organisation providing a voice for women and girls in Hong Kong. Their primary objective was to tackle the challenges and inequities that women and girls face across Hong Kong society: a greater likelihood of being poorer and lower paid, vulnerable to harassment and domestic violence, and less likely to achieve senior positions in the workplace or in public life. The Women’s Foundation was thus launched, modeled on the best such organisations around the world. The key elements of our model can be distilled down to action based on empirical research, the leveraging of institutional, academic and other resources to engineer change, and rigorous independent impact assessment. Today, The Women’s Foundation is the leading catalyst in Hong Kong for collaborative efforts to drive women’s and girls’ advancement in the community. We conduct groundbreaking research, run innovative community programmes, and engage in education and advocacy in the pursuit of three main goals: challenging gender stereotypes, empowering women in poverty to achieve a better quality of life for themselves and their families, and increasing the number of women in decision-making and leadership positions. As a non-Government subvented charity, we rely almost entirely on corporate and individual sponsorship and donations for our funding.
