簡介 Overview
在同志權益的領域中，香港正默默地進入了一個全新的時代。可能你未必了解發生了什麼事？或者還不知道應如何應對？現在是最好的時間了解這些轉變帶來什麼意義，這不僅是香港社會在LGBTQ+多元共融政策上的將迎來新發展的機會，更是各大小商家以至跨國企業必須正視的趨勢。
In a subtle fashion, Hong Kong is advancing into a crucial period for LGBTQ+ rights. Are you fully informed about the transformative shifts taking place? Maybe you're still searching for the right way to deal with it? Now's the time to understand the far-reaching consequences of the shift. Not only does it signify evolving LGBTQ+ inclusivity policies within Hong Kong, but it also signals a trend that enterprises — from local businesses to multinational corporations — cannot afford to overlook.
法院對LGBTQ+ 權益的肯定 Landmark Court Decisions for LGBTQ+ Rights
香港法院在去年一系列重大裁決中，為多項同志權益奠定了堅實的法律基礎。從「香港終審法院下令政府兩年內確立同性伴侶註冊制度」到「跨性別獲准不需完成全套性別重置手術即可更改身份證上的性別標記」，這些裁決開創了新的LGBTQ+ 權益保障局面。對於企業而言，這是一個值得深入了解的新環境，因為這對企業在香港的運營和員工管理必然有重大影響。
In recent landmark decisions, Hong Kong's judiciary strengthened the legal foundation for LGBTQ+ rights. From the Court of Final Appeal's mandate for the Hong Kong government to establish a same-sex partnership registration system within two years to allowing gender marker changes on IDs without the need for complete gender affirming surgery, these verdicts herald a new era of protection for LGBTQ+ rights. For businesses, it's crucial to grasp this evolving landscape, as it will inevitably influence operations and employee management in Hong Kong.
公共聲音響亮的支持 Resounding Public Support
最新2023年的民意調查顯示（註1），香港人對同性婚姻的支持率達60%，更有71%的受訪者認為香港應該制定保障不同性傾向人士免受歧視的法律。在過去十年中，支持保護同志權益的香港市民比例大幅增長，民意發生了積極的變化。這不僅反映了香港社會的價值觀念轉變，也為企業提供融入多元共融信念的機會。
A 2023 public opinion survey reveals (Note 1) a significant 60% approval rate among Hong Kong citizens for same-sex marriage, with a notable 71% supporting for legislation to protect individuals of different sexual orientations from discrimination. Over the past decade, the percentage of Hong Kong citizens endorsing LGBTQ+ rights has surged, marking a positive shift in societal values. This evolving sentiment not only mirrors changing societal norms but also presents businesses with opportunities to integrate inclusive policies.
引領社會共建多元文化 Leading Towards a More Inclusive Society
現在香港社會正處於LGBTQ+ 權益的新起步點，我們將深入理解和分析社會的新形勢。這不僅是對企業的考驗，更是的共同打造更多元與包容社會的新機會。這場「香港同志前路何去？展望香港LGBTQ+ 企業多元共融下一站」論壇可讓我們一起做好準備，迎接新環境所帶來的機會與挑戰。無論企業規模，都能發揮積極作用。對於企業而言，現在正是好時機，透過了解最新社會情況，推動多元共融新策略，打造引領社會影響的企業。
Hong Kong finds itself at a transformative crossroads concerning LGBTQ+ rights, necessitating an in-depth exploration of the emergent societal dynamics. Beyond a mere corporate imperative, it presents a collective opportunity to foster a more pluralistic and inclusive societal fabric. Our forthcoming conference, "What's Next for LGBTQ+ Equality: The Conference on Exploring New Directions in Corporate Diversity and Inclusion in Hong Kong 2024," serves as a crucible to equip stakeholders for the forthcoming opportunities and intricacies of this evolving milieu. Regardless of company size, it's the ideal moment for businesses to understand current societal shifts, champion new strategies for diversity and inclusion, and lead in a changing landscape.
通過這些目標的達成，我們期望能夠在香港共建一個更包容、更多元的社會，並鼓勵企業實踐多元共融的使命。
Through these deliberations, our mission is clear: to pave the way for a more inclusive, diverse, and harmonious Hong Kong while encouraging businesses to lead with purpose and vision.
