Hong Kong's proposed reforms to sexual offence laws have garnered significant public backing, with over 90% of over 6,000 submissions expressing support. Security Chief Chris Tang announced the high approval rate on Friday, indicating strong public desire for change. The reforms aim to modernize and strengthen protections against sexual violence in the city. Tang stated the government considered all public feedback received during the consultation period. A bill outlining the proposed changes is expected to be presented to the Legislative Council before the end of the year. This move signals a potential shift in Hong Kong’s legal framework surrounding sexual offences, promising increased clarity and victim protection. The government anticipates swift progress toward enacting the new legislation.
