Established on 8 March 1997, the Association Concerning Sexual Violence Against Women (ACSVAW) has been striving to promote women's rights and gender equity in Hong Kong. With particular focus on sexual violence, ACSVAW mobilises the public to join the fight for victim-survivor's rights, with a view to restore a life of confidence and dignity to the victims. We are submitting our views and suggestions of amendments regarding Crimes (Amendment) Bill 2021 (the Bill) to the LegCo Bill Committee as below.
