Hong Kong civil society

Hong Kong civil society refers to the various organizations, groups, and movements that operate independently of the government and contribute to public life. This includes non-governmental organizations (NGOs), social movements, community groups, and advocacy organizations that address social, political, and environmental issues. Civil society plays a crucial role in promoting democracy, human rights, and community welfare. However, recent political changes and restrictions have challenged the operating environment for these groups, raising concerns about their future and the space for public expression and activism in Hong Kong.
