Purpose
They believe that "all women, regardless of their profession, social classes, religion, or races, have the same basic human rights, that they are equal and entitled to fair and equal treatment in the legal and judicial system, that nobody should be oppressed against, that all people should live dignity".
With such belief they intent to help the women sex workers from Hong Kong and mainland China by means of outreach activities, publication and audio- visual production, research and social education.
Furthermore Zi Teng advocates legal and policy changes and cultivates the space for discussion on gender, sexuality and sex work.
Although Zi Teng works with all sex workers in the field, some of Zi Teng activities focus on migrating women, sex tourism and teenage sex workers. They work mainly with local and Delta region sex workers. It is their goal that some day Zi Teng will be an organization not just FOR sex workers, but BY sex workers as well.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“The United States is the only great nation whose government is operated without a budget. The fact is to be the more striking when it is considered that budgets and budget procedures are the outgrowth of democratic doctrines and have an important part in developing the modern constitutional rights.... The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I am firmly opposed to the government entering into any business the major purpose of which is competition with our citizens ... for the Federal Government deliberately to go out to build up and expand ... a power and manufacturing business is to break down the initiative and enterprise of the American people; it is the destruction of equality of opportunity amongst our people, it is the negation of the ideals upon which our civilization has been based.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
