FEB Newsletter the Past Quarterwas FEB Newsletter The past quarter was another dynamic and productive period for the agency. This Newsletter enlightens you on the ten service projects, the Flag Day and the two gatherings: one for service users and the other the 31st Annual Press Conference cum Annual General Meeting. Every project of ours is important as manpower is scarce and the project is built on the understanding of the needs and demands of children and families in Hong Kong. It is designed to mobilize different layers of the community to participate and contribute to its launching, prevention and evaluation. Among the ten projects there are a few Another important but demanding preventive project coming to an end. The Stop Sex Good Parenting Project for Cross Border Families Trafficking of Children and Young with New Born Babies had also come to an end People Campaign though after hard work rendered by our team of staff coming to an end because and volunteers in the past three years with the project funds ended, requires funds from the Swiss Anonymous Foundation. special mentioning as massive This project was demanding in the sense promotion, publicity and that the cross border families encountered training aroused massive tremendous stresses and strains for community attention and different reasons, e.g. traveling back and participation.

While sustaining efforts of child participation and child empowerment, with the funding support and our initiative a Child Protection Web Platform in the name ACAChild.Asia has been launched. Our once child councilor and Kids’ Dream members Mr Benny Yip and Ms Cheng Po Yan both current university students actively assisted in the design and write up of the web platform which included the four major sections: (a) Children’s Rights, (b) Child Safety, (c)Stop Child Abuse, and (d) Children’s Voice. Base on the concept that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, the platform included exercises, games, quiz, and solicited interactive participation by asking them to share, to be informed, to ask questions, to vote and give feed back.

From witnessing denial of abuse this agency took the lead campaigning for vulnerable abused and neglected children and obtained support and recognition from a small group of pioneers expanding to the local and international community. From focusing on identifying the problem to rendering a balanced remedy and preventive programme, this agency has grown from a seedling to a young plant providing protection and support to the vulnerable. From a mere hotline service to a multi service also going online, from a loner to collaborating with adults and children; professionals and general public alike, we are no loners on the road to advocate. Nevertheless sound advocates must not move away from the important traits of humility, openness, passion, selflessness and courage to speak up even as a minority. While I as the Director of this agency will be bidding farewell to you and the Against Child Abuse after some thirty years of service at the end of March 2011, I urge that such traits be sustained! Happy Year of the Rabbit and Make our Children’s Dream Come True.

  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere
    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

They were vibrant and diverse gateways that provided shelter, jobs and support to the community. Honoring Senior Citizens 11 (Chinese version) The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) studied Chinatowns in the cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. They spent a year recording block by block by lot the existing land uses in Boston, New York and Philadelphia's’ Chinatown and sur- rounding immigrant areas, looking at the residential, restaurants and businesses. What they discovered is that the shrinking of the areas’ Chinatown are multi-faceted. Rising land prices has contributed to the gentrification and expan- sion of luxury buildings and upscale businesses encroaching into the Chinatowns. An example is when the New York City Council, despite protests from the Chinese community and businesses, approved the city’s third largest rezoning plan in 2008. Independent analysis by urban planners concluded that it would push luxury development into Chinatown and disproportionately impact the low income and immigrant communities.
