HER Fund is a registered charitable organization, legally established in 2004 in Hong Kong. HER Fund was initiated by a group of women activists in Hong Kong, all of whom have had long working experiences in women's rights work.

Next to this, an important aspect of our work is to raise awareness of women's position and rights in Hong Kong.

Improving Quality of Work in the Face of Tremendous Challenges

在逆境挑戰下的持續發展及改進

Stepping into our 5th year, HER Fund has improved and consolidated many aspects of our work. Between the months of July 2008 and March 2009, HER Fund developed a strategic funding focus on the theme of economic justice after reviewing the development of local women's rights work and our strategic position in supporting the growth of the movement. In terms of target groups, we focus on supporting rights-based grassroots self-organizing women groups which have the least funding resources. We also encourage innovative and exploratory work with young girls as they too are largely neglected by the mainstream. Publicity and communications were enhanced through the publishing of a regular and quality E-newsletter and printed version to donors and network organizations, and we had an expansion of new contacts from schools, community groups and media through various 88 Days 2009 activities.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS

執行委員會成員

踏入第五個年頭，婦女動力基金不斷改善及鞏固多方面的工作。在2008年7月至2009 年3月，婦女動力基金在檢視本地婦女權益工作的發展及如何有效地推動婦女運動後，決定集中並策略性以經濟平等作為主要的撥款範疇。在有限的資源下，我們會專注地支持缺乏資源的基層婦女權益/自助組織，同時我們也鼓勵創新性及探索性的青少女工作項目。

職員

We also adopted a more diversified fund-raising strategy including the development of a web-based fundraising approach and cost effective local fundraising events and activities. With a limited number of staff, we are aided by a team of experienced and committed volunteers, making continuous effort on philanthropic education in order to raise local gender awareness as well as raise support from schools and community agencies. The effort has proven to be very encouraging and we have received much positive feedback for last year's work.

在過往一年，我們採用多元化的籌款策略，包括以網上平台來籌款、具成本效益的本地籌款活動等。在有限的員工人數下，我們得到一班具豐富經驗及有承擔的義工朋友協助我們繼續推動公義行善的教育工作，提昇本地學生及團體對性別問題的關注及支持。這些努力的成果令人感到鼓舞﹗

We especially thank our sisters' funds – the Global Fund for Women and Mama Cash - for their grants. Our deepest appreciation also goes to our donors, volunteers, Distinguished Friends – Christine Fang, Anna Wu and Cyd Ho - our grantees, for their invaluable commitment, and our devoted Board and staﬀ team.

At this critical time of the global ﬁnancial downturn, HER Fund, while facing additional and pressing challenges ahead, is determined to continue working at her best for the rights of the least resourceful and the marginalized. It is the precious giving at a time like this that truly makes a diﬀerence to the lives of women and girls and making their voices to be heard.

在全球金融危機的影響下，婦女動力基金雖然面對極大的挑戰，但仍會盡力支持缺乏資源及邊緣化的婦女權益工作。我亦懇切期待您的寶貴捐款，齊心同力讓青少女及婦女的生活能得以改善。

Grant-making Innovative Initiatives on Grant-making work

創新性的撥款工作

It was a fruitful year, and we made a step forward in our grant-making work. In March 2008, our fifth grant cycle, HER Fund gave grants for 9 projects, totaling HKD265,000. Our focus was promoting women's rights at a grassroots level. At the same time, we continue to look for good partners to work with young girls.

我們在撥款工作上邁進了一大步。在去年的第五年度撥款，婦女動力基金共資助了9 個項目計劃，資助額共港幣265,000。我們繼續推動基層婦女權益工作的同時，也繼續與關心青少女工作的團體合作，推動青少女權益工作。

Two innovative initiatives on capacity-building of grassroots women's organizations were attempted during this period. This includes channeling designated funds to support the Grassroots Women's Platform, a collective community platform of 4 small women's organizations based in the district of Tuen Mun. HER Fund supports this newly-formed Grassroots Women's Platform by receiving local donations for them. The second initiative is soliciting funding from Oxfam Hong Kong to support a tailor-made capacity-building programme for 3 grassroots women's organizations which are also HER Fund's existing grantees. This pilot project aims to strengthen the capacity of core members in organizational building and enhance their ability to develop in a more sustainable way. This capacitybuilding program aims to further strengthen the local women's movements at the grassroots level.

撥款

同時婦女動力基金也開展了兩個與基層婦女團體合作，就能力建立有關的工作項目，第一：指定撥款項目 - 支持「籌辦民間組織互助中心」。這個中心是由四個位於屯門的民間婦女組織所成立的，但欠缺開展的資源，故此婦女動力基金決定以「指定撥款項目」的形式去支持，把所有指定捐給「籌辦民間組織互助中心」的捐款，均會轉交木綿社作為推動此計劃之用。第二個創新性的工作項目是由香港樂施會資助，為三個基層婦女自助團體安排度身訂造的能力提升計劃，包括婦女貧窮關注會 (低收入婦女)、同根社 (新移民婦女) 及香港愛心保母協會 (照顧者服務)。此試驗性的計劃是希望增強各婦女基層團體的能力及未來持績性的發展。

Highlight of Projects of 2008/09 2008至09年度撥款項目剪影 Economic Rights and Justice for Women

基層婦女的經濟平等

Grassroots women not only have to take up the traditional role of "carer" in the family, they also have to earn a living for the family. However, many of them are in the low-income group, and they do not have any labour protection. These grassroots women contribute greatly to the economy and to their family, it is their rights to be treated with dignity, and with fairness protection, no matter in the economy, in the society or in the family.

現在的基層婦女，除了要擔當傳統的「照顧者」角色外，更要外出工作幫補家計。但她們不少為低收入、沒有工作保障的一群。基層婦女對家庭、社會甚至香港的貢獻是不容忽視，故此她們不論在工作上、社會上及家庭內，都必須要受到有尊嚴的對待，及公平的保障。

A strategic review on Grant-making

策略性檢討撥款工作

After 5 annual grant cycles, the Executive Committee decided to review our grant-making work strategically in September 2008. Economic Justice for Women has always been one of our key grant-making themes. We also see the difficulties of grassroots' women organizations and their initiatives to get funding resources to support their work within the current Hong Kong context. Therefore, HER Fund decided to strategically prioritize our grantmaking in the next 3 years (Year 09/10 to Year 11/12) in making effective social change:

在5個年度的撥款工作後，婦女動力基金的執行委員會在2008年9月決定策略性地檢視撥款工作。經濟平等一直是婦女動力基金的重點撥款範疇。而在資助計劃中，基層婦女組織的工作項目在香港是非常缺乏資源去開拓及發展。故此，婦女動力基金決定在未來三年(09/10至11/12年度)，集中並策略性地作出撥款的優次，以更有效地作出社會改變︰

1) Economic Justice, especially for rights-based grassroots women's groups/ organizations; 2) Projects with new marginalized groups, e.g. Young girls' rights-based projects and creative programmatic approaches or methodologies.

1) 經濟平等，特別是基層婦女權益/自助組織； 2) 邊緣群體而創新性的工作，例如青少女的權益工作項目、富創意的活動手法。

HER Fund delivered 5 talks /workshops reaching over 1500 students in secondary girls' schools including St. Mary Canossian College, Precious Blood Secondary School, Ying Wah Girls School, Our Lady of the Rosary College.

本會去年在12月至3月期間，於不同的中學包括寶血女子中學、嘉諾撒聖瑪利學校、英華女學校、聖母玫瑰書院等，舉辦了五次共1500名學生的性別教育講座及工作坊，有賴12位註冊社工的義務協助，將性別平等的訊息從日常生活中的處境及現況與同學分享，提升對性別問題的認識，鼓勵她們關心婦女的權益問題。

Reaching out to community and frequent communication allowed us to promote local support to women and girls‘ rights work. We continue with our regular E-news and printed newsletter, and more, in last year, we successfully built rapport with various local bookshops, cafés, and community centers who are willing to provide free space for us to place our newsletters for distribution to their customers. As for media communications, we also held press meetings in last December, with speciﬁc angle on current social issues and was successful in attracting media coverage to promote our 88 Days Campaign online auction and local concern on women rights' issues.

與社區中不同的團體、社群、商戶的持續連繫及接觸是本會工作的重要一環。我們透過定期發放的電子通訊及每半年出版一次的印刷版通訊，將本會的消息及工作發放及推廣。去年開始，我們的通訊可在不同的地點包括多間書屋、咖啡室及社區中心等派發。至於傳媒的宣傳工作上，去年在「88•38行動」中，我們透過記者會等工作聯繫，主動向外界介紹本會工作及有關的籌款活動，同時亦就著不同的婦女議題，在電子傳媒中推動社會對婦女權益及性別平等的關注。

Volunteering 發展義工網絡

Local Networking and International 本地及國際網絡

Volunteers are always important resources to HER Fund. Last year, our volunteers became involved in diﬀerent aspects of work.

義工是婦女動力基金的重要人力資源。與以往不同，我們的義工於今年參與更多不同種類的工作。

A team of 12 registered social workers/ community workers has been formed as our volunteer team for educational work in schools. They have been conducting gender-related talks in secondary schools and building direct contacts with a network of secondary girls' schools.

由12位註冊社工及社區工作員組成的義工小組進行學校教育工作。他們於女子中學內舉辦了5次的性別教育講座及工作坊，提昇青少女的性別平等意識，並與學校建立了直接聯繫，以便往後日子繼續合作。

From the 88 Days Campaign, we have recruited numerous voluntary tutors to hold classes for raising funds, this include line dancing, bakery, self made environmental friendly face cream, lotion, lipsticks, etc. We keep developing human resources in this way to involve community support and mobilize resources to our work after the 88 Days Campaign.

今年的「88•38行動」內，我們首次邀請了義務導師舉辦興趣班，為基金會籌募更多善款。在「88•38行動」完成後，我們繼續發掘更多義務導師，發展她們所長之餘，締造更多本地籌款的網絡。

There is also a second network of volunteers, mainly consisting of 30 individual women and men from diversified backgrounds and age groups who had helped in past events. We conducted 2 volunteer training sessions in November 2008 before the 88 Days Campaign. This network of volunteers mostly assisted HER Fund for different types of one-off fundraising events, publicity work and oﬃce administration.

另外，我們有為數約30人的義工團隊，他們在去年積極協助婦女動力基金的籌款活動、出版及辦公室的工作，在此感謝他們過去所付出的努力﹗

About 2000 women gathered to celebrate the achievements of the women's movement struggle and to share knowledge and thoughts for future development. Attending the AWID forum and the various sessions provided us the opportunity to learn about the situation of women and women's rights issues in the global context. We were able to build network, sharing of information and experiences with other women's NGOs and activists groups that brought new insights and resources to our work in HER Fund.

去年11月，基金會行政總監杜潔麗及籌款幹事謝德愛一同出席是次國際會議，有超過二千名來自世界各地的婦女及年青女性參與並一起分享及交流有關推動女性人權保障運動及未來的組織工作策略。我們更藉此機會與各國代表建立聯繫並在交流中增進我們在宣傳、推廣及籌款工作上的知識。

Organizational Development 機構發展

Your Donation Makes A Diﬀerence 您的捐助帶來不一樣的改變

HER Fund benefited from our committed and stable Executive Committee leadership, who gave clear policy direction to the running of the fund. Our executive members involved in our Grant-making and Fundraising subcommittee met regularly to formulate strategic priorities and to provide monitoring and supportive role as well as sharing their expertise on related aspects in the subcommittees.

基金會有賴執委會的穩定參與及領導，讓我們在清晰的方向及目標下，向前發展。執委會成員分別在籌款及撥款的專責委員會中參與，並運用她們的專長及經驗，協助推動有關工作及訂定策略，同時亦擔當著監察及支援發展的角色。

The staﬀ team has become more specialized, developing various aspects of work on grant-making, fundraising, communication and administration. There were several staff capacity building opportunities during the year allowing staﬀ to have exposure to international and regional women's funds' exchange program and conferences.

在過去一年，職員在工作上更趨專責，包括撥款、籌款、通訊、教育、行政等範疇推行有關的工作。本會亦提供不少的能力培訓機會讓職員參與，包括出席外國會議及本港舉行的訓練工作坊、研討會等，讓職員進修知識和技能的同時，亦促進本會更有效地推展工作。

Yet, HER Fund after the restructuring of staff and division of work since March 2009, each staff has to bear multiple responsibilities. Fortunately, HER Fund's administrative system has established and with well organized communication and database systems that could be easily managed by our small staff team, and at the same time, maintaining the level of our work output effectively. HER Fund also was gifted with the help of volunteers who supported some office work on a regular basis and conducted small scale fundraising events as well as supporting our community educational work.

然而，在2009年3月進行人力架構調整之後，職員的工作量更繁重，幸好本會的基本運作及檔案系統已上了軌道，故此亦能有效地平穩發展，我們更要衷心感謝義工們的幫助，有賴她/他們的支持和付出，協助推行籌款、社區教育、行政支援等工作，讓我們能持續地向前發展。

Christine Fang JP, Chief Executive Officer of the HK Council of Social Service, our Distinguished Friend: "HER Fund is playing an important role to support pioneering initiatives and to network different sectors in promoting women's rights, empowering women who are suffering from discrimination and poverty."
