[Message from Dean of Student Affairs]

Welcome to HKU, new students! 🎉

“Your HKU experience is ‘what you make of it’. Embrace the opportunities to learn (and unlearn in some cases), grow, and challenge yourself. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.”

【🚨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
