馮檢基疑似明光

「馮檢基表示,她們的十誡,部分是「以美麗的字眼掩蓋了背後的核心價值」,而這些價值未經足夠討論,他難以表態支持。」
”But Mr Fung said the group had hidden the issue of same-sex marriage among the feminist issues.He said the party only had reservations on this issue, not equal rights for women, and more discussion would be needed before the party took a stance.”

婦女十誡政綱只是支持將同性同居者納入家庭暴力條例,及支持反性傾向歧視立法,何曾包括支持同性婚姻?
動輒搬出同性婚姻等較具爭議性的問題,來反對一切同志平權運動,這不就是明光社維護家庭聯盟的慣常策略嗎?

婦團「金牌」頒田北俊

奧運贏家可以有金牌,立法會選舉候選人都有「金牌」收,不過這是新婦會協進會首次舉辦嘅「金沙皮豬頒獎禮」,該會制訂了「婦女十誡政綱」,包括不可將婦女從屬於家庭、不可姑息性別歧視、不可打擊婦女就業等,仲計算過去4 年立法會議員在婦女議題上的表現,做得不好的就拿金、銀、銅最差勁獎。結果金、銀、銅分別為自由黨主席田北俊、民建聯曾鈺成和民協馮檢基獲得,指他們打壓性別平等和漠視女性權益。

本報在截稿前未獲田北俊回應;曾鈺成指選舉期間政治團體有各自目的及立場,他不作回應。

而馮檢基表示,她們的十誡,部分是「以美麗的字眼掩蓋了背後的核心價值」,而這些價值未經足夠討論,他難以表態支持。

被指婦女議題表現差田北俊未回應婦進會主席蔡泳詩說,透過檢視候選人對「婦女十誡政綱」的回應,和過往在立法會的表現,選出最差議員,例如田北俊和曾鈺成拒絕回應該會政綱,又反對《種族歧視條例》涵蓋內地新移民等,田北俊因在落實兩性平等措施的議案上投反對票而名列榜首。

Feminists urge vote for equality

A feminists' group has called on voters to punish at the ballot box candidates who refuse to safeguard sexual equality.

The Association for the Advancement of Feminism said yesterday it had tried to seek support for women's rights from candidates in geographical constituencies.

It said the Liberal Party and the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong declined to respond, while the Federation of Trade Unions and Hong Kong Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL) had reservations about some of the group's suggestions.

The group also named three lawmakers - Liberal Party leader James Tien Pei-chun, Tsang Yok-sing of the DAB and Frederick Fung Kin-kee of the ADPL - as having the worst performance in safeguarding sexual equality, and urged people not to vote for them in next month's Legislative Council election.

But Mr Fung said the group had hidden the issue of same-sex marriage among the feminist issues.

He said the party only had reservations on this issue, not equal rights for women, and more discussion would be needed before the party took a stance.

Mr Tien and Mr Tsang could not be reached for comment.

In a questionnaire sent to the candidates last week, the group asked for their stances on issues such as a stronger role for the Women's Commission, filling in loopholes in the sexual discrimination and domestic violence ordinances, decriminalising sex work and enhancing sex-equality education in schools.

Association chairwoman Sally Choi Wing-sze said many candidates did not put feminism on their election agendas because women voters had not established themselves as a mainstream voice in society.
