Teen's Key Hong KongTeen's Key Hong Kong
We believe every young woman deserves access to information and care for their sexual and reproductive health. We work across organizations with partners, medical professionals, the police, and more, to go directly into the community and help young women find the support and empowerment they need to build the next phase of their lives.
Teen’s Key has launched online outreach services since 2019 with the support of the Jockey Club Charities Trust. Building trust relationships with the presence of necessary support services can encourage vulnerable young women & girls who experienced sexual health difficulties to seek appropriate assistance.
We provide free, anonymous STD testing. STDs that you may be tested for include HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia. Make an appointment via our 24/7 helpline +852 5112 0274.
Not only focus on safe sexual behaviors, we also include positive aspects of sexuality, such as body understanding, love and relationships based on mutual respect, consent, and equality. With our 10 years of frontline social service experience among the youth community, we are able to offer up-to-date curriculums to cater to the growing demands from schools & other NGOs, topics in particular: online dating, imaged-based sexual violence, self-identify are on demand this year.
Through our programs and outreach, we aim to get ahead of the crisis so young women can make healthy and informed decisions about their future. We also conduct joint research with other nonprofit organizations to raise public awareness of the rights of vulnerable young female including young sex workers, to make positive changes in their lives and challenge gender inequality.
According to government statistics in 2011, there are about 100,000 sex workers in Hong Kong, and 10% of them are under 24. However, owing to the advancement of the Internet and the increase in underground sex industry, we believe that the real numbers far exceed the estimates.
12,000 active accounts on social media of adolescent girls who sell sex and related activities.
Financial desperation, family breakdown, loneliness, sexual & emotional distress, validation (recognition) are key motivators for young women to enter the sex industry.
