Mother's Day Campaign 2017

One week before Mother's Day in 2017, the HKFWC has held a kite flying campaign with over 45 families (100 participants) in the Clear Water Bay Country Park. The aim is to bring out that women want to use their time with more freedom, have more liberty in the division of labor in the family, and that society can respect their choice as mothers.

 

The kites used in the event were handmade by the mothers and were endowed with their blessings. In mid-April, they shared the thoughts of motherhood through a series of workshops and activities, and let their family understand their decisions. The kites represent that women can pursue what they have chosen and let their dreams fly high. Through flying kites together, the women want to raise public concern and foster society to understand the role of mothers more openly.
