Fanny M. Cheung

Since 1975, Dr. Cheung has been active in promoting rights of and services for women and the disabled in Hong Kong. She spearheaded the War on Rape campaign in the late 1970s and founded the first community women's centre in early 1980s. She mobilised women's groups to advocate for the establishment of a women's commission and the extension of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women to Hong Kong. She has been actively involved in supporting psychiatric rehabilitation for 20 years. In response to residents' rejection of facilities for the disabled in the community, Dr. Cheung has run a series of public education campaigns since the 1980s to change attitudes and promote public acceptance of mental handicap and mental illness.

Dr. Cheung has served in many government committees and advisory bodies. She was awarded the Badge of Honour in 1986, appointed as Justice of Peace in 1988 and awarded the Honour of Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1997.

Dr. Cheung's research interests include gender roles, violence against women, personality assessment, and psychopathology among Chinese. She has co-organized a number of international and regional conferences and workshops on psychology, mental health, and gender.
