Survey findings on “Women's Quality of Life and Public's Attitude toward Gender Equality in Hong Kong”

In commemoration of the International Women's Day, Professor Celia Hoi Yan Chan of the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) led a study to explore Women's Quality of Life and Public Attitude toward Gender Equality in Hong Kong.
