Rise in sexual and mental violence reports 

 

Presenters：Danny Gittings and Car Ha

On Wednesday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the rise in reports of sexual violence in Hong Kong.

Rape crisis centre RainLily has urged officials to reform the laws on sexual offences after the number of cases followed up by the centre almost doubled in a decade to reach almost 2,000 during the most recent five-year reporting period.
The organisation found victims now wait an average of four years before seeking help, and hope the law can be changed to define the meaning of “consent” more clearly as well as expand the offence of rape.
So how serious is sexual violence in Hong Kong? We’ll find out.
After 9:45, we talk about the launch of three taikonauts to the Tiangong space station.
