Hong Kong is undertaking reforms to its archaic sexual offense laws, but survivors of prolonged childhood sexual abuse feel excluded. The proposed changes focus on consent and address issues like marital rape, but do not adequately address the unique challenges faced by those abused over extended periods. Mui, a survivor abused by her stepfather for seven years starting at age 13, highlights the difficulty in recalling numerous incidents when reporting to police – a challenge not addressed by the new legislation. Current laws often require detailed recollection of individual incidents, which can be incredibly traumatic and often impossible for long-term abuse victims. Advocates argue the reforms fail to account for the psychological impact of protracted abuse and the difficulty in providing evidence. This leaves a vulnerable group feeling forgotten and hinders their ability to seek justice. The reforms are proceeding despite these concerns, prompting disappointment and calls for further adjustments.
