2nd Hong Kong Family and Women Development Summit Held
The Hong Kong Home and Youth Affairs Bureau hosted the 2nd 'Hong Kong Family and Women Development Summit' on March 31. Under the theme 'Shaping Women's Strengths and Harnessing a Shared Future for Families,' the summit explored new directions for women's development and family building through keynote speeches and thematic forums. Various industry leaders participated, aiming to help women seize opportunities in the new era and prepare themselves for future challenges.
Emphasis on Women's Empowerment and Mutual Family Support
The President of the International Women's League noted that women constitute 54% of Hong Kong's population, playing a 'major shareholder' role in society. The potential of women in the new era can be greatly realized through their inherent kindness and empathy. Societal support is crucial for liberating women's labor force and fostering economic growth. It was emphasized that women should be equipped with various skills through vocational training, tablet operation, and industry analysis to play a more significant role in economic development. Additionally, the Chairperson of the Kowloon Women's Federation advised that for women to successfully balance family roles and personal development, they must actively acquire knowledge, professional skills, and participate in social activities. Utilizing social resources, such as community childcare services, is also important for expanding development opportunities.
Celebrity Families Share Experiences and the Importance of Mutual Understanding
The summit also featured celebrity couple Moses Chan and his wife, along with awardees of the 'Hong Kong's Beautiful Families' selection, who shared their insights into maintaining harmonious families. Moses Chan discussed how he manages to spend time with his family and share childcare responsibilities despite his busy acting schedule. His wife emphasized the importance of following agreed-upon rules in parenting and cooperating with each other. Furthermore, a family with a child suffering from a rare disease shared their touching experience of overcoming their crisis through mutual support and understanding, and how their child's successful surgery brought them a 'new life,' highlighting the profound importance of family bonds and love.
