The Working Group on
Combating Violence (WGCV) which is chaired by the Director
of Social Welfare and comprises representatives from various
government departments, Hospital Authority and non-governmental
organizations, is responsible for mapping out strategies
and approaches to address the problem of spouse / cohabitant battering
and sexual violence. With the support of the WGCV, the
Social Welfare Department has developed this website on
services for victims (irrespective of their gender, race or sexual orientation)
of child abuse, spouse / cohabitant battering and sexual violence in Hong Kong
to facilitate access to relevant information by concerned departments, agencies
and individuals.
