Men overestimate women’s sense of safety and access to services in Hong Kong, survey finds

HKFP

前往原文

Men tend to overestimate women’s sense of safety and access to education and health services, a survey on gender equality in Hong Kong has found.

 

The study, launched by the University of Hong Kong’s Department of Social Work and Social Administration and NGO Hong Kong Federation of Women’s Centres, surveyed the public’s attitudes relating to the quality of life among women in Hong Kong in January and February.

Among the 1,287 adults who took part in the survey, 603 were male and 684 were female. There were significant differences between men and women’s answers, the results released on Monday showed.

 

On questions about women’s sense of security at home and in public, a larger proportion of male than female respondents said women felt safe.
