十大歧視新聞三涉立法

按圖片放大
 【明報專訊】反歧視大聯盟昨日公布2004年本港十大與歧視有關的新聞,其中涉及種族和性傾向的歧視分別佔3宗,另殘疾及性別歧視則佔2宗。主席麥海華說,現時反歧視法只涉及殘疾、性別及家庭崗位的範疇,去年有更多範疇的歧視受害者願意「站出來」提出訴求,將有助社會消除誤解,並透過廣泛報道推動政府立法。

 反歧視大聯盟自1993年開始,每年均回顧所有歧視新聞。副主席李建賢表示,挑選的基準以影響程度及受市民關注為主,其中一則「變性人公開試證書列新身分」更是「非典型」的歧視新聞。李說,以往變性人受歧視的問題不為人關注,受害人亦很少作出訴求,但今年中有兩名變性人分別離世,其中一名更疑因被拒進行變性手術而自殺。李說,事件引起有關團體不滿,激發他們站出來爭取自己權益。

 今年獲選的十大歧視新聞中,有3宗是關於修訂或訂立更多範疇的反歧視法,包括政府現就種族歧視及性傾向歧視立法進行諮詢,以及平機會建議修訂將校園納入性別歧視條例的監管範圍內。

  麥認為透過立法修例,可有效保護被歧視的受害者,促請政府加快立法諮詢步伐。

 他補充,過去一年對平機會部分工作感失望,例如解僱余仲賢事件等的調查報告,至今仍未能公布,加上政府委任一名「作風低調」的新主席,且任期長達5年,麥質疑政府在推動平等機會的工作會進取不足。
