Among Educational Sector:
The costs of sexual harassment
The consequences of sexual harassment can be costly to both employers and employees:
Severe emotional stress, anxiety and even depression for those harassed
Affected employees will reduce their engagement and performance loss of team unity
Increased likelihood of employee turnover
Low staff morale and tarnished reputation of the organisation
Fines or settlements expenses following litigation
Reputational damage for the employee and employer for action perused internally or externally
As the first collaboration programme on the issue
ever held in Hong Kong, we will bring together the
key stakeholders to foster a positive workplace -
free of harassment and intimidation - and make a
breakthrough in thinking and strategy.
The HKU Force For Good Initiative will not just
be a forum for discussion, but a spring board for
future action on the issue.

Introduction to BRIDGE
Past BRIDGE Programmes
Kalinga Fellowship, 2017
Kalinga Fellowship, 2017
Kashmir Fellowship, 2015
We have focused on the following areas: sexual assault prevention, youth leadership, sustainable food growth, sanitation and clean water, education policy and others in places such as India, Indonesia, US, Kashmir and the UK.
In March 2017 we took nearly 100 corporates, NGO’s and civil society members to Odisha, India to tackle the question: “How might business, government and NGOs work together to diminish sexual assaults on girls in Odisha?”
We created eight strategies, with groups to implement them, for up to one year post-Fellowship.
We partnered with KISS, a 25,000 strong free school providing free education for children from tribal villages.
In only 5 months we have had:
▪ Corporates adopting inclusive hiring
▪ Up to 30,000 schoolgirls being taken through summer courses to be more empowered
▪ 500 young women being taken to screenings of ‘Poorna’
▪ A showing of the film to all 25,000 KISS students
▪ Two NGO’s forming an official partnership to streamline the support of trafficked and rescued women
▪ Large Bhubaneswar charity to target funding towards the safety of young women for 2018
▪ Initiative started by KISS to support young children to be able to go home during the holidays to visit their families and create closer familial connections

The mission of The Bridge Institute.
History tells us that all the great movements for change have one thing in common. The abolitionists, women’s suffrage, civil rights, human rights, equal rights – they all had great leadership.

best, we can move further, faster towards a more peaceful, fairer and more prosperous society.
