one drink at a time.

This month the spotlight will shine on women and mothers. We all know it is not easy to be a woman when bearing the double burden of the workplace and the home. Prejudice is also encountered by women of all profession, ethnicity, and social status. Motherhood is always celebrated. But the less popular question we ask this time is: Is motherhood an added penalty?

FAQ

What is Drink For Justice?

Drink For Justice is a relaxed networking event that is held monthly to shed light on social issues that affect us all. We learn from how refugees in Hong Kong self-represent and develop in a challenging environment, while displaying a resourcefulness and tenacity everyone can harness for greater success. Come along, enjoy a drink, and learn something new.

Who is involved?

Drink For Justice is organized by a diverse network of professionals, refugees and concerned citizens who come together at the Refugee Union to promote solidarity and develop friendship over a pressing social cause. It’s a win-win deal guaranteed to bring out smiles!

How does it work?

Once a month, for a $200 donation, you’re welcome to drink to your heart's content and make a difference in the lives of underprivileged people in Hong Kong. We can’t fix social problems in one night, but we can turn our Happy Hour into positive change.

Refugees are a marginalized minority from dozens of countries. Their skills and talents are often undermined and depreciated in a context of limited resources, opportunities and choices. Drink For Justice encourages all of us to express ourselves and to learn about the reality of seeking asylum in this city while discussing broader issues of social justice.

Why promote justice over drinks?

The ancients believed “In Vino Veritas” – in wine, truth! The Greek historian Herodotus asserts that if the Persians decided something while drunk, they made a rule to reconsider it when sober. Authors after Herodotus added that if the Persians made a decision while sober, they made a rule to reconsider it when they were drunk.

Drink for Justice aims to spark a truthful friendship in a jovial environment shaped around this ancient wisdom since, “what soberness conceals, drunkenness reveals”. Let’s harness the good times we share with our friends to promote justice and solidarity!

The Refugee Union is Hong Kong’s first refugee-led society. Its mission is to empower refugees to assist each other and actively participate in all matters relating to the life of refugees and the development of the asylum sphere in Hong Kong.
