Our main aim is to help distressed migrant women (including those who have overstayed their Hong Kong visas) make informed decisions affecting the welfare of them and their children.

Critical Steps

We help documented or undocumented distressed migrant women take the following steps:

>> Become documented.

First, we guide undocumented migrant women towards the critical step of surrendering to the Immigration Department.

>> Obtain social and medical services.

Once they are ‘recognised’ by the Immigration Department and provided with temporary ‘Recognisance’ documents, we help them gain access to services for their Hong Kong-born children.

>> Take the next step.

When they are ready, we assist them in finding a legal way to return home. Others successfully reapply for work in Hong Kong.

>> Provide for their children.

We help them plan a future for their families. For some, this means sending their children home to relatives while reapplying for employment in Hong Kong. For others, this means giving up their child for adoption.
