Deciphering Hong Kong’s Jurisprudence On Same-Sex Unions

解讀香港同性伴侶案例

 

Litigation has underpinned Hong Kong’s LGBT+ movement for decades. A handful of court decisions in recent years have helped made incremental steps in recognising same-sex unions, though the fight for full marriage equality remains an uphill battle. Evelyn Tsao, a public interest lawyer with substantial experience in advocating for LGBT+ rights, will offer a retrospective of these cases, and insights into the future of LGBT+ advocacy in Hong Kong courts.

 

Speaker: Evelyn Tsao, Partner, Patricia Ho & Associates

 

Date & Time: October 18, 2022 (Tuesday) 12:30 – 2:00pm (Hong Kong Time)
Delivered in English with simultaneous interpretation in Mandarin and Chinese closed captions
