Free Legal Advice Clinic

The HKFWC formed the Free Legal Advice Clinic in 1992. It is Hong Kong's first legal advice service for women experiencing marital problems, to consult them on their rights under the Family Law.

BackEnquiry

Supported by members of Free Legal Advice Scheme under The Duty Lawyer Service, the scheme aims to provide professional and free legal advice for women in need, as well as to improve the awareness of crisis management of women, so that those who lack legal knowledge and resources to hire lawyers can understand their legal rights in divorce. We hope to protect these rights and achieve legal empowerment of women. Fellow counsellors will accompany them and help them sort out and solve their problems, while encouraging them to establish support networks and contribute to the community.

 

To meet the needs of our service users, we have enhanced our follow-up service. At the end of each consultation service session, we will have a case study period to understand what women need, follow up on certain cases and refer them to relevant services according to their situations.
