"Bloomed" Female Awareness Art"
Dec 6th, 2019 , 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM @ KONG ARTSPACE
UNSDG: gender equality, no poverty, and zero hunger
To share just one of many stories; Pheobe is 24 yrs old and has suffered from mental illnesses since a young age. Much of it was due to her father's abandonment of her mother where she felt that she's the one to blame. Her mother also left her. She can't support herself financially and has been homeless for quite a while. She sleeps in public toilet stalls at night with her legs up and tries to balance herself on a toilet so people won't know she's inside. When she gets discovered she has to run another public toilet only to relive the moment.
She goes through this daily. But luckily she will find a place to sleep and a job now through working with @impacthkcharity
