This paper illustrates the global-local interaction within the Hong Kong women’s movement. This interaction is especially compelling, because of the concerted efforts of Hong Kong NGOs to localize priorities and activities in reaction to China’s resumption of sovereignty over Hong Kong. Despite this emphasis on localization, it is evident that cross-border issues are central to the concerns of several Hong Kong women’s NGOs. In this paper, I examine the initiatives of Action for REACH OUT and Zi Teng, two women’s NGOs organizing for sex worker rights in Hong Kong. I argue that organizing for sex worker rights broadens the scope of issues within the Hong Kong women’s movement, as women’s NGOs go beyond the concerns of Hong Kong women to address the concerns of mainland Chinese women. I also discuss how organizing for sex worker rights forces Hong Kong activists to question the traditional feminist analysis of sex work.

為香港性工作者爭取權利：全球性與本地化之交流

本文述香港婦女運動中全球性與本地化之交流。在香港，這種交流特別棘手，因為政府的管制，促使香港的非官方機構將精力用於本地的議題與活動。儘管本地化被強調而成為主流，但顯而易見，許多香港非官方婦女團體仍然非常重視跨邊界的問題。在本文中，我將探討青鳥及紫藤這兩個為香港性工作者爭取權利的非官方機構的主張。我的論點是：為性工作者爭取權利，將擴大香港婦女運動涉及問題的範圍，因為香港的非官方婦女團體必將超越本地婦女面對的問題，去關心有同樣問題的內地中國婦女。我也會探討香港為性工作者爭取權利的積極份子，如何在爭取的過程中，被迫使質疑傳統女權主義對性工作的分析。
