As our community prepares to implement Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance, we stand at a pivotal moment in safeguarding the rights and well-being of our children. This law embodies a collective commitment to protect the most vulnerable among us, emphasising that the responsibility to safeguard children rests not just with professionals, but with every member of our society. However, our work is far from over. We will continue to advocate for policy changes that stipulate everyone in society to take responsibility for protecting children, and for fostering a social culture of zero-tolerance toward violence against children, ensuring that every child grows up in a safe and supportive environment.

Judgments of Child Abuse Cases
“A defenseless child, unable to resist, was repeatedly harmed in cruel and inexcusable ways.”
“As a childcare worker, the defendant showed no compassion or patience, treated young children brutally and viewed them as playthings.”
“No belief in corporal punishment can justify actions that are illegal. Repeated abuse under the guise of discipline is intolerable.”
Our Efforts
The Sound of Violence: A Child Abuse Prevention Film
To raise awareness about the importance of child protection, we produced the short film The Sound of Violence using immersive surround sound, urging the public to support children at risk and report suspected child abuse promptly.
Watch this powerful film to feel the harm of violence and reflect on the plight of abused children.
