In partnership with the Gender Research Centre at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, this anthology comprises of twenty scholars from Hong Kong's higher education institutes that provide a thorough review on eleven of the most pressing issues concerning women and girls in Hong Kong and propose recommendations on policies to reduce gender inequalities.

Findings include:

• Intimate partner violence rose 475 per cent between 1998 and 2008.
• Drug use among Hong Kong girls has increased
• Objectification and hypersexualisation of women in media have increased in proliferation 
• While women still bear the majority of child care, the Hong Kong government has not yet provided explicit family-friendly policies to support dual-income families.
• More changes are needed to nurture advancements in gender equality, and benchmarks may be needed as a standard against which organisations and the government can assess themselves
