The Commission works towards the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sex, marital status, pregnancy, disability, family status and race.

The Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), established in May 1996, is a statutory body to implement the Sex Discrimination Ordinance (SDO), the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (DDO), the Family Status Discrimination Ordinance (FSDO), and the Race Discrimination Ordinance (RDO) in Hong Kong.

We also aim to eliminate sexual harassment, and harassment and vilification on the grounds of disability and race. We promote equality of opportunities between men and women, between persons with and without a disability and irrespective of family status and race.

promoting awareness, understanding and acceptance of diversity and equal opportunities and providing education to prevent discrimination;
enforcing compliance with provisions in the anti-discrimination legislation; and
providing access to redress for discrimination.
