Social Welfare Sector Stands In Solidarity In Support of Movement
2030 | The “Social Welfare Sector: Humanitarian Crisis Assembly” was held at 1900 at Edinburg place, Central today #17Dec, as part of a series of rallies and strike by the social welfare sector this week
One of the speakers on the assembly was Sonia Ng, who was remanded in custody and is now a vocal figure against police’s sexual violence at San Uk Ling Holding Centre. “Hong Kong girls are now much stronger than ever before,” She encouraged Hongkongers. She listed a few examples, like Hong Kong girls know how to distinguish different kinds of respiratory masks, and they are talking like truck drivers when they are assisting frontliners or fighting on the frontline. She emphasized that the Revolution is reconnecting Hongkongers, as well as her fiancé and her – they are getting married next year. People congratulated and cheered for her.
