Society for Community Organization
About
Society for Community Organization (SoCO) is a human rights pioneer in Hong Kong. SoCO firmly believes that everyone should be entitled to equal rights. Equal opportunity for participation and fair distribution of social resources is the foundation of human rights.
In the face of the widening disparity between the rich and the poor, and the increasingly restrictive political arena, we stand firm in our crusade to establish an equal society and to build a strong power base for the people. We are motivated by a common dream, and that is: “Let us work hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder to build a caring, equal and just society.
In the coming years, SoCO will stand four squares behind the grass-roots in supporting them fight for their rights and social justice.By doing so, we hope that we can realize our common dream of making “all members of human family equal.
