Resolve Foundation

Hong Kong is a vibrant and diverse city, yet many groups persist in a vicious cycle of disempowerment. As a Hong Kong based NGO, Resolve was founded in 2017 with the aim to target the root cause of this inequality by empowering community leaders from underrepresented backgrounds to be catalysts for positive change. In 2018-2020, by providing an annual Social Justice Fellowship, which aims to help each Fellow develop their human rights knowledge, leadership and advocacy skills, Resolve brings together 20 Fellows every year from diverse walks of life. In this first cycle of fellowships, under the umbrella of ‘Lifting Barriers, Removing Stigmas', Resolve held three fellowships on racial equality and inclusion (2018), ending gender-based violence together (2019) and disABILITIES and empowerment (2020). We believe in inclusive social change, community empowerment and advancing equality. We envision an inclusive Hong Kong where every voice has a say in its future and every person has the power to bring positive change to their community. In 2021, Resolve is launching the Every Action Matters campaign in the form of releasing an Equality Toolkit and three virtual experiential workshops, offering practical tips on how to be a better ally and active bystander to marginalized communities in our everyday life.
