Co-organised by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vera Lui (founder of Sally Coco), Chantal Wong (Eaton HK\u2019s Director of Culture), and Sonia Wong (founder of Reel Women Hong Kong), the festival is all about empowering modern women in Hong Kong, and came about as a result of a shared vision to bring an event that allows females to learn and be curious to the local market.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_159088\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159088\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-159088 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-helpers.jpg\" alt=\"women's festival 2018 Hong Kong helpere\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-helpers.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-helpers.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-helpers.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/506;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-159088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The festival hopes to be accessible to all women, and tells the stories of diverse communities<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Initially, one of the biggest challenges for the group was trying to explain their idea to collaborators.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019d never done something like this before. I mean, I\u2019ve held workshops and talks, but this was something new. The most difficult part was talking to people who we wanted to be involved and sponsors about the vision, as nobody knew what to expect,\u201d explains Vera Lui.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But once they could articulate what they hoped the festival would be, they found a range of supporters coming out to help in a variety of ways, with Eaton HK coming on to host the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cGender equality is one of the core issues we are committed to supporting with Eaton Workshop,\u201d says Eaton founder and president, Katherine Lo. \u201cWhen I envisioned my dream for Eaton HK, it was to gather a tribe of like-minded people doing good work in the world and I am honored to be part of the creation of the first Hong Kong <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Women<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Festival<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">women<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of Hong Kong have long deserved a platform and spotlight, and we are proud to be part of the changing tides for redefining what it means to be a modern woman in our society today. We are excited to see Eaton HK filled with strong <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">women<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who will come together to learn, celebrate and walk away feeling empowered to forge their own destinies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_159090\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159090\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-159090 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-sexuality-workshops.jpg\" alt=\"women's festival 2018 Hong Kong legs in a bath\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-sexuality-workshops.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-sexuality-workshops.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-sexuality-workshops.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-159090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The programme touches on various topics from wellness to sexuality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The nine-day event sees a diverse programme designed to be accessible to all women and filled with everything from belly dancing classes to skincare workshops; discussions around education reform to anti sexual violence workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Films play a large part of the programme, with Sonia Wong from Reel Women Hong Kong selecting a range of screenings that are a little riskier than your average viewing in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAll the films, I would say, tell the stories of \u2018invisible\u2019 women; the mature Taiwanese lesbian with a family for example,\u201d says Wong. \u201cI want to be able to bring these topics to the table and to talk about them frankly.\u201d The programme touches on women from all walks of life who society is aware of, but whose stories are often not widely told or shared with larger audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The extensive educational component of the festival also dives into waters that many fear to tread. \u201cFor me, because I promote sex positivity, September 8 is going to be a great day. It\u2019s all about sexuality. In the age of the #metoo movement, we need to explore how we raise awareness in Hong Kong,\u201d says Lui.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_159087\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159087\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-159087 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-Gurl-Power-Music-party.jpg\" alt=\"women's festival 2018 Hong Kong female DJ\" width=\"900\" height=\"674\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-Gurl-Power-Music-party.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-Gurl-Power-Music-party.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/womens-festival-2018-Hong-Kong-Gurl-Power-Music-party.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/674;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-159087\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don&#8217;t miss the Gurl power Music Party on the final night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The entire festival is closing with an absolute bang, in large part thanks to Chantal Wong, who admits that she loves a good party. \u201cA lot of the events at the festival are very cerebral, like yoga and meditation, but I just think that when you\u2019re dancing and having a great time, that\u2019s like the truest form of self-expression.\u201d Gurl Power Music Party sees a range of female musicians, DJs and drag queens take to the stage, so that attendees and organisers alike can celebrate the power of females.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As far as what\u2019s next for the Women&#8217;s Festival, the idea of taking it out to schools and the wider community is one way in which it may morph and change in the future, giving greater access to people who may not be able to attend, and hopefully educating and engaging even wider audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot more work to be done, but having these kinds of events every year is part of the pillars we designed when planning the event, \u201c says Chantal Wong. \u201cWatch this space!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Find out more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/event\/womens-festival-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Women&#8217;s Festival<\/a> here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for more Hong Kong culture?
