無家者生活誌
LIFE STORIES OF THE HOMELESS
About exhibition
According to the government’s Census and Statistics Department’s announcement in February 2021, the pandemic has raised Hong Kong’s unemployment rate to 7%, the highest in seventeen years. SoCO also notice a rising trend of first-time street-sleepers. In May 2020, SoCO conducted a study of street-sleepers not receiving comprehensive society security allowance. Of the 104 street-sleepers in Kowloon West, 60% were first-time street-sleepers. More than half of the interviewees slept in the street because the pandemic had brought their incomes down to zero. They do not benefit from the various rounds of fund to fight the pandemic. They are omitted from the social security safety net. Back home, they become homeless….
The “Life Stories of the Homeless” exhibition featured life stories of people in the photo album under the same title, and also a new chapter on the homeless people’s situation during the pandemic. It is hoped that through the exhibition, the homeless people’s voices will continue to be heard and arouse the public’s concern for and understanding of the homeless, such that the city will treat gently the underprivileged.

New event – Join the Charity Gala Premiere of “Drifting”
The homeless are drifters in a muddy world. Life is hard. They are surrounded by dirt and smell, not purely out of their own wrongdoings, yet they get looked down upon and ostracized. They strive hard to survive, crying out for just a breathing space.
To arouse public concern over the plight of the homeless people in Hong Kong, SoCO is sponsored to organize a charity gala presentation of the movie “Drifting”. We appeal to generous individuals and organizations to support the event. Donations received will be allocated to SoCO’s service for the homeless.
Please support the homeless, please come to the charity gala premiere.
About the movie: “Drifting” is based on the real story of a group of homeless people living under the flyover of Sham Shui Po. They are being neglected and marginalized by the society and the movie tells how the homeless people have to struggle hard to live a debased life with dignity in a filthy, muddy world.

- Date: 1 June 2021 (Tuesday)
- Time: 9 PM
- Venue: The Metroplex (G/F, E-Max, KITEC, 1 Trademart Drive, Kowloon Bay)
