    Urgent request for details of women's shelters

    Dear forum users

    We have been alerted to the situation of a woman in need of help due to an intolerable domestic situation.

    Can anyone give details of any women's shelters in Hong Kong, for people without PR status?

    All information gratefully received.

    Has she tried po leung kuk? There's no mention of needing to be pr.

    Also harmony house deals with people with a legal right to be in hk, not necessarily pr apparently.

    Is there domestic violence involved? I suggest she goes to the police which can then arrange for social services.

    women's shelter address is confidential.
    contact police or social worker, they can refer you

    There is absolutely no need to go to the police if she isn't ready yet. She can just contact the centres directly - there are phone numbers on their webpages.
