Appointments to Women's Commission
**********************************
The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, said, "Since its establishment in 2001, the WoC has spared no effort in promoting the well-being and interests of women in Hong Kong and advising the Government on policies and initiatives on women's issues.
"The re-appointed and newly appointed members come from a diverse background. I trust that they will give valuable advice on the work of the WoC. Eighty-six per cent of non-official members of the WoC for the new term are female," she added.
Miss Mak also thanked the outgoing members, Ms Susanna Chiu Lai-kuen, Mrs Emily Ho Lam Tim-yi, Dr Kevin Lau Chung-hang, Ms Elaine Lo Yuen-man and Ms Rigam Rai for their contributions to the WoC.
