反對蓄婢會編

About the Author

反對蓄婢會編 is a pioneering collective dedicated to the eradication of the mui tsai system in early 20th-century Hong Kong, a practice that bound young girls into servitude under the guise of domestic adoption. Formed amid growing social reform movements, the group compiled critical reports and advocacy materials to expose the exploitative conditions faced by these vulnerable children, drawing on eyewitness accounts, legal analyses, and calls for legislative change. Their work in 1923 highlighted the urgent need for intervention, influencing public discourse and policy debates on human rights and labor practices in colonial Hong Kong. Through meticulous documentation, 反對蓄婢會編 not only chronicled a dark chapter of social injustice but also catalyzed broader efforts toward gender equality and child protection in the region.
