“Her Rights: Money, Power, Autonomy” Exhibition at the HKU Main Library (8 March - 2 April 2024) (English below)

如我們要達成聯合國的可持續發展目標，我們需賦予女性經濟能力，以消除性別差距。惟根據世界經濟論壇，以現時進度，至少需要過百年方可達致性別平等。我們可以怎樣改進，又有否任何成功例子可以參考？

由瑞典駐港總領事館主辦，香港大學圖書館及香港大學性別研究課程合辦之「她的權利：金錢、權力、自主」展覽，將由2024年3月8日至4月2日，於香港大學圖書館地下入口展出。展覽圍繞六個互相關連的經濟性別平等議題，探討與其相關的機遇及挑戰。展覽亦以時間線，敘述瑞典如何透過政策及改革、立法工作及活躍女性運動，爭取性別平等。

If we are to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals, we need to empower women in the economy and close gender gaps. But progress is unacceptably slow. At the current rate, it will take over 100 years to achieve global gender equality, according to World Economic Forum. What could we do better, and are there any successful examples to learn from? Visit the “Her Rights: Money, Power, Autonomy” exhibition between 8 March and 2 April 2024 to be inspired!

Jointly organised by the Consulate General of Sweden in Hong Kong, HKU Libraries and the HKU Gender Studies programme, the exhibition underlines the need for action in economic gender equality. By raising six interrelated themes, the exhibition discusses challenges and opportunities connected to economic gender equality. With timelines, it also tells the history of Sweden’s gender equality journey through progressive policy and reform, legal efforts and a strong women’s movement.
