What breakthroughs do women deserve to make? In Hong Kong, the pay gap in 2019 was 20% for hourly pay and 38% for bonuses (Standard Chartered Gender Report 2019). Over 50% of employers said they would not hire women with children while only 13.6% of directors on Hang Seng Index company boards are women (The Women’s Foundation Actioning Gender Equality 2020). Last but not least, women suffer more from depression than men (weforum.org/agenda/2020/03) and to 23%, 1.7 million Hong Kongers suffer from a diagnosable mental health problem.
