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.
