First Year Experience at HKU

First Year Experience at HKU

Share

firstyear.hku.hk The concept behind HKU’s new four-year undergraduate curriculum is the totality of the student learning experience.

As you enter university, you are likely to be bewildered by new demands and challenges that you seldom faced during secondary school education. You need to decide for yourselves where you want to go and what you want to achieve when you graduate. It is important that you have appropriate and realistic expectations of a university education and know how far you can go towards achieving your persona

【🚨Say NO to S*xual Harassment🚨】

During orientation activities, it's important to be aware of s*xual harassment and to stand up against it by clearly saying NO🙅🏻‍♀🙅🏻‼

There are two types of s*xual harassment as defined under the S*x Discrimination Ordinance of Hong Kong:

1️⃣Person-to-person s*xual harassment
-A person's unwelcome conduct of a s*xual nature to another person, where an objective, reasonable person would have agreed that the conduct is offensive, humiliating or intimidating.
E.g.
❌Inappropriate touching by your groupmate
❌Group leaders sending you pornographic images/videos/texts on social media
❌ExCo asking you questions about your s*x life

2️⃣S*xually hostile/intimidating environment
- A person's conduct of s*xual nature which creates a s*xually hostile or intimidating environment for another person, even though the behaviour is not consciously targeted at an individual.
E.g.
❌Organisers delivering s*xually-suggestive games in orientation camp
❌Making s*xual jokes in WhatsApp Group

If you suspect that you are being harassed… 🆘
✅ Say NO. Let others know the behaviour is unwelcome and must be stopped immediately.
✅ Record details (e.g. date/ time/ venue/ witness)
✅ Seek advice or assistance from CEDARS and Equal Opportunity Unit (EOU)
✅ Lodge a report to CEDARS or a complaint to EOU

💡Report any S*xual Harassment Case to CEDARS through our ✨𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀✨⁠
📱WhatsApp: 9390 2024⁠
