Towards a More Comprehensive and Timely Direction for Sexual Offence Law Reforms in Hong Kong 《更全面及合時宜的性罪行改革方向》意見書
本港主要的性罪⾏法例於七⼗年代以英格蘭及威爾斯的法例為藍本訂⽴，許多部份已不合時宜。英國等多地於2000年代已經陸續對性罪⾏的法例作出重⼤修訂，反觀⾹港則繼續沿⽤陳舊觀念及定義來回應性暴⼒。根據性暴⼒危機⽀援中⼼「⾵⾬蘭」發佈的服務數據，過去五年只有約四成性暴⼒個案的受害⼈選擇報警求助，⽽在有報警的個案中，僅6%案件被告於⾸次審訊被成功定罪。
這些數字反映刑事司法制度於回應性暴⼒事件上的失效，更削弱受害⼈對透過制度獲取公義的信⼼，本港性罪⾏法例必需有所變⾰。
政府於2024年底指出會就落實法律改⾰委員會（法改會）兩份報告書中超過70項建議，並參考海外司法管轄區的相關發展，於2025年內就法例修訂建議進⾏公眾諮詢。關注婦⼥性暴⼒協會回顧法改會2019年《檢討實質的性罪⾏》報告書之建議，於本意⾒書進⼀步提倡更與時並進及符合性暴⼒受害⼈處境的改⾰建議。
Most sexual offence laws in Hong Kong were established in the 1970s based on the laws from England and Wales. Many of them are obsolete and fail to adequately protect victim-survivors today. While many overseas jurisdictions reformed their sexual offence laws in the early 2000s, progress in Hong Kong has stagnated. Recent data from the sexual violence crisis centre RainLily indicates that only 41.4% of cases are reported to the police, with just 6% of accused individuals convicted after the first trial. 1 These statistics highlight the shortcomings of our criminal justice system in delivering justice for victim-survivors.
In a process spanning nearly two decades, the Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong (HKLRC) began its review of Hong Kong’s sexual offence laws in 2006 and eventually published two reports in 2019 and 2022 respectively after multiple rounds of public consultations. Numerous victim-survivors have endured retraumatisation in the criminal justice system without achieving justice due to deficiencies in existing laws.
The Hong Kong Government recently announced that public consultation will be carried out in 2025 based on over 70 recommendations proposed by the HKLRC. ACSVAW welcomes the HKLRC’s proposed reforms and further advocates for specific changes that better align with the experiences of sexual violence victim-survivors.
