"Women of Hong Kong – A Century of Contribution and Development" Essay Competition
The Women's Commission organised an essay competition alongside the "Exhibition on Women of Hong Kong – A Century of Contribution and Development" in December 2007 to invite members of the public and students to reflect on gender issues and to express their views after visiting the Exhibition so as to further enhance gender awareness among the public.
