針對跨性別人士暴力研究調查

Published: 23 January 2018

針對跨性別人士暴力研究調查發佈會

 

跨性別資源中心於去年一月至十二月進行「針對跨性別人士暴力研究調查」,目的為了解本港跨性別人士在家庭、親密關係、職場和公眾場所遭受暴力對待的情況。調查以網上問卷形式進行,收回有效問卷135份。結果顯示接近半數(45.9%)的受訪者曾經遭受暴力對待,受害者超過六成( 62.9%) 面對肢體暴力。

調查由婦女動力基金贊助,是香港首個以跨性別人士為對象的暴力研究。本中心更委託香港浸會大學社會學系副教授黃結梅博士及亞洲社會研究所進行研究及分析。

香港浸會大學社會學系副教授黃結梅博士表示,研究結果顯示社會人士在否定跨性別人士的性別認同,建議政府盡快訂立性別承認法,還跨性別人士應有的尊重。「法律是第一步承認跨性別人士的身份,亦是必須的第一步,這樣才可以延伸至家庭及教育等方面。」

從事多年性小眾輔導工作的資深輔導員張佩琦博士,在分享家庭支援對防止針對跨性別人士的家庭暴力時指出,曾有家長誤以為將跨性別子女逐出家門,可以迫使他們放棄。「父母很多時出於關心,認為跨性別的路難行而不想子女成為跨性別人士,這樣其實是一個惡性循環。如果社會接受,家長了解,可以減少出現這些暴力情況。」

跨性別資源中心主席梁詠恩表示,針對跨性別人士的暴力情況嚴重,但對跨性別人士及其家庭的支技不足,呼籲政府及社會人士多一點提供支援。她續表示跨性別資源中心出版的刊物有助家長及社會人士了解跨性別人士,消弭誤解,減少歧視和暴力出現。

TRANSGENDER RESOURCE CENTER (TGR) NEW WHAMPOA VENUE TO OFFICIALLY OPEN 31 DEC

Published: 03 January 2018
Established on 1st July, 2008, Transgender Resource Centre (TGR) is the long-established non-profit organization dedicated to serving the transgender communities in Hong Kong and Mainland China. In its ninth year, TGR finally has a space to call its own - a street-facing, easily accessible locality in the friendly neighborhood of Whampoa.
The new venue offers a positive and supportive space for the trans community as well as hosting all kinds of resources across the board of the trans experiences, including support group, counseling, mental health, parenting and family, faith, and much more. 
Psychiatrist Dr. Mak Kai Lok, Gregory has been vital in making this new venture possible: “As a psychiatry specialist, I’ve seen over the years a lot the inner pains and struggles the transgender people have to endure. Their life journey is a grueling one, which I wish to walk with them through, offering them some kind of care and support.” 
“…I’m also glad to see TGR continuing its operations in the new space. I hope by having a trans community center at work within the community at large, more people would learn to understand the trans people and discard their prejudices, thus allowing for more tolerance and acceptance in helping the trans people live a happy, healthy life,” Dr. Mak remarks. Dr. Mak was involved in transgender individuals’ psychological assessment since 2008. He also assisted them in their transitional period, especially in building up healthy self-esteem.
 
We all live in the same city, yet the trans people face a very different life: rejection by friends and family, discrimination at school, at work, disrespect, and harassment when opening a bank account and accessing health care, by public bodies and law enforcement agencies. Such individual and institutional discriminations are the results of laws and policies that create inequities or omission of trans people from benefits and protections afforded others and have already been found to induce stress which links to suicide attempts.
 
It’s time Hong Kong addressed all these problems and caught up with international standards and good practices in the field of recognizing and protecting the rights of sexual minority. The Government has earlier put forth a consultation paper on gender recognition, yet what shared and debated are widely disparaging views. While the consultation will soon be over, how may the government and the society be steered towards the right direction? Former Legislative Council member Ms Emily Lau Wai-hing has been one of the few gender advocacy forerunners in Hong Kong, and here is her advice: “We have to lobby for support and validation from the public, so that they’d at least not be in opposition. We’d therefore need to get into dialogue with different sectors, hoping that’d lead to discussions and negotiations. We’d also need to communicate with different political parties and government agencies for achieving a consensus.”
 
As long as the Hong Kong majority are still bound by traditional gender ideologies, it seems unlikely the gender minority would truly be taken in. TGR Founder and Chairperson Joanne Leung thinks otherwise: “The term ‘minority’ exists only to contrast the severity of a social problem. In fact in striving for social acceptance, I would rather bring out our similarities, calling for care and kindness to our neighbor as fellow community members. In recent years, the trans movement has been emphasizing the human rights aspect, yet to me it’s the humanity aspect that matters more.”
 
With a firm belief in the value of every life and in respect and concerns for all human beings, TGR ventures to bridge the gap between the minority and majority. Anyone visiting the new space is free to explore your thoughts about one another candidly, to learn to respect our differences in gender identity and embrace our common humanity, and to recognize that friendliness with people apparently different from us and accepting people for whom they truly are, is indeed possible.
 

The new TGR Whampoa venue will be officially open on Sunday, 31st Dec, 2017, with the opening ceremony being officiated by Dr. Mak Kai Lok, Gregory, Ms. Emily Lau Wai-hing and
Chairman of Equal Opportunities Commission, Professor Alfred Chan Cheung-ming.
