香港基督教協進會性別公義事工 Hong Kong Christian Council Gender Justice Ministry

不論舊約或新約聖經都肯定人類（男女皆然）是按

照上帝的形像創造的（創1:27），而且在基督耶穌裡

沒有階級的分別，都合而為一了（加3:27-29）。性別

公義事工不是只關注女性，而是解開不同性別被社

會建構的限制，需要姊妹兄弟攜手合作，突破性別

藩籬，共同提升教內性別平等及相互尊重的意識，

讓信眾能真誠地邁進見證上主友愛和公義的關係。

According to the Bible, humankind (both male and female) was created by God in God’s own image (Genesis 1:27) and we are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:27-29). Gender justice ministry not only aims to fight for women’s rights but to help men and women to break out of restrictive gender roles. Brothers and sisters in faith should join hands to eliminate gender barriers and raise the awareness of gender equality and mutual respect in churches so as to witness to the love and justice of God.

緣起 Background

香港基督教協進會於2009年舉辦「香港教會使命諮詢會議」前，設有「姊妹論壇」作為預會，從女性自

身的經驗和視野交流意見，深化教會有關性別議題的探討和意識，並把收集所得的意見制定一份給

予大會和全港教會的具體行動建議——《三八行動綱領》。為跟進此綱領，香港基督教協進會之「社會

公義及民生關注委員會」邀請不同性別的牧職人員及神學教育工作者等，於2010年初設立「性別公

義促進小組」，期望促成和具體落實《三八行動綱領》訂立的目標：

Hong Kong Christian Council (HKCC) organized the Mission Consultation of the Hong Kong Churches 2009. The Sisters’ Forum was held in advance for female Christians to share their own experience and views, in order to encourage discussion about gender-related issues. Based on the opinions collected at the forum, we issued the Women’s Platform for Action, which recommended possible actions for HKCC as well as churches across Hong Kong. In 2010, HKCC’s Justice and Social Concern Committee recruited both male and female church personnel and theological educators to establish the Gender Justice Group. The group aims to carry out the plans formulated according to the Women’s Platform for Action.

《三八行動綱領》 Women’s Platform for Action

1. 建立「尊重」和「共融參與」的信仰群體，活出上主多元、平等、公義的新世界；2. 促進性別平等，讓教牧和與平信徒突破性別定型和傳統的性別分工，按恩賜、興趣熱誠及群體需要，服侍教會，貢獻社會，榮耀上主；3. 將「性別公義」成為教會牧養及推展事工的參照原則；4. 以「婦女充權」的向度進行女性信徒之牧養，協助她們確認其主體經驗和個人價值。1. To establish Christian communities based on mutual respect and communion, creating a new world with God through diversity, equality and justice;2. To foster gender equality at church by assigning duties based on one’s talents and in order to serve the church, contribute to the society and glorify God; 3. To promote gender justice as a guideline for churches to shepherd people and implement related projects;4. To equip female Christians with the concept of women’s empowerment, in order to affirm their personal experiences and self-worth.

推廣防治性騷擾政策 Policy against Sexual Harassment

2013年3月本會的執行委員會通過制定「防治性騷擾政策」，並在同年10月開始正式執行，清楚表明

協進會決心消除機構在工作及活動範圍中出現的性騷擾問題。為促使基督教社群對防治性騷擾的

相關政策和機制加深認識，本會出版了一本名為《禁聲的暴力》之防治性騷擾牧養小冊子，羅列了性

騷擾的定義和誤解、牧養建議及分享教會建立「零」性騷擾空間的重要。同時製作了《防治性騷擾政策單張》，派予協進會活動的參加者。本會亦曾到訪不同宗派及堂會進行名為「如何防治性騷擾？──

建立性別尊重的教會」的訓練，當中除了解釋性騷擾的定義及法律責任，亦在分享中解釋政策的重

要性及提供牧養須知。另外，為了解香港基督教會內性騷擾及性別意識的情況，本會於2014年尾策

劃《教會內性騷擾及性別意識問卷調查》邀請全港教會參加，以得到更準確的數據和具參考價值的資料。

In March 2013, the Executive Committee of HKCC established the Policy against Sexual Harassment, which was implemented in October. HKCC was determined to eliminate any incidents of sexual harassment against its employees or members. To enhance Christian communities’ understanding of how to eliminate and prevent sexual harassment, HKCC published “Silence Amplifies Violence” (《禁聲的暴力》), a pamphlet that explains what sexual harassment is and addresses common misunderstandings. It gives suggestions on pastoral care and emphasizes the importance of eliminating sexual harassment in churches. Leaflets about the policy were also distributed to the participants of HKCC’s activities. In addition, HKCC provided churches from different sectors with training sessions on “How to eliminate and prevent sexual harassment? Let’s create a church with gender respect”, explaining the definition and legal consequences of sexual harassment as well as the importance of the policy, and giving advice on pastoral care. Moreover, in order to evaluate the seriousness of sexual harassment in Hong Kong Christian churches, HKCC conducted The Survey on Sexual Harassment and Gender Awareness at Church in late 2014. All churches in Hong Kong were invited to participate to ensure more accurate results and reliable reference.

Forums on gender justice have been held regularly to promote gender-related issues.
