Freelancer Matters

Freelancer Matters is a project that aims to provide legal assistance and empowerment to the long neglected group of freelancers in Hong Kong. The ultimate end is to fill up the current gap that freelancers are neither deemed to be needy (hence not served by NGOs) nor vulnerable (hence not protected by the legislation). To achieve this goal, we will empower freelancers with real-life legal knowledge and potential abuse that they may face with the joint efforts from peer freelancers, pro bono lawyers, student volunteers and current unions and associations. We believe that it would prevent their clients from abusing these freelancers’ ignorance of the law and making a benefit out at their expense.
