自上世紀後期開始，香港社會逐步邁向性別平等 (Gender equality)，透過《性別歧視條例》、《殘疾歧視條例》、《家庭崗位歧視條例》同《種族歧視條例》嘅法例落實，保障所有人免受基於性別、懷孕、婚姻狀況、殘疾、家庭崗位同種族歧視，而女性喺法律、社會、經濟等嘅地位亦有所提升。 不過，社會上仍然存有性騷擾、性別歧視等問題，而性小眾 (包括LGBTQIA+) 權益亦係近年嘅社會議題，需要社會各界共同努力同提高關注，推動性別多元文化。以下為大家推介一啲喺香港關注性別平等嘅非牟利機構 (NGO)，俾你了解一下佢哋嘅服務同理念： 性別空間 Gender Empowerment 性別空間係一個支援跨性別 (Transgender) 社群嘅慈善自助組織，透過邀請專業人士就各種關於性嘅專題進行分享，並提供心理輔導，以幫助跨性別人士融入社會及解決性別上嘅疑難或困擾。 青躍 Teen's Key Hong Kong 青躍是一個完全由年輕女性領導、幫助弱勢青少女嘅非牟利團體，關注年輕女性嘅性與生育健康，致力協助弱勢年青女性學習新技能、實踐理想同活得自信自在。 Resolve Foundation Resolve Foundation 致力培育來自邊緣社群嘅社區領袖，透過社會公義育才計劃同工作坊，改變了有關社群人士嘅生命路向，為香港社會帶來正面改變。 婦女基金會 The Women's Foundation 婦女基金會致力改善香港婦女同女童生活，透過舉辦多個社區項目改變社會對性別嘅刻板印象、提升女性喺決策過程中嘅影響力，使女性能夠達到經濟獨立自足、成為未來嘅成功領袖。 關注婦女性暴力協會 The Association Concerning Sexual Violence Against Women 關注婦女性暴力協會由一群關心婦女權益嘅人士所組成，希望透過危機支援、法律諮詢服務和教育活動等，促使政府及公眾人士正視婦女遭受性暴力的問題，讓受害婦女重過有自信同自尊嘅生活。 以上幾間針對性別平等嘅機構都不時需要技能義工 (Skilled volunteer) 支持運作，如果你都想出一分力，可以考慮以下各類型嘅義工服務，或者直接按【立即申請】睇下最新嘅技能義工服務機會！ 義工服務（一）：電話熱線義工（Hotline Volunteer） 電話熱線義工主要提供情緒支援同相關嘅資訊協助，聆聽致電人士（如面對家暴、性暴力和歧視等問題）嘅困難同需要，並提供例如危機處理技巧等實質協助。義工將會需要先接受基礎同深入嘅培訓，以幫助有需要人士度過難關。 【立即申請】 義工服務（二）：榜樣義工（Role Model Volunteer） 一個好榜樣對個人成長非常重要！佢哋嘅經驗同心得分享可以啟發其他人。榜樣義工其實比較類似坊間嘅師友計劃，主要係透過互動交流，鼓勵參加者建立自信心同正面嘅態度面對生活上唔同問題、逆境，同時發掘自己嘅潛能，實現夢想。如果你都想支持下一代出一分力，尤其打破社會對唔同性別嘅枷鎖、標籤，幫佢地建立自信，就快D報名啦～ 【立即申請】 義工服務（三）：創業分享講者 （Entrepreneurial Guest Speaker） […]
