HONG KONG: University student,"A", says she used to be a"typical girl" who liked to shop, drink bubble tea and watch Korean soap operas but all that changed as Hong Kong's anti-government protests gained momentum and she stepped up to take a place in the frontlines.
"I was at the back, I would just go home after I marched. I started to think I could go further and further forward, till I was at the very front."At the frontlines, it can be hard to tell the difference between men and women among the black-clad protesters but"A" says she felt a sense of female empowerment and gender equality when she came across other women - even if men sometimes tell women to retreat.
The student says she believes more women could play a greater role in progressing the campaign for more democratic measures to be put in place across the city.
Proud of them! And sincerely hope that they can escape from the sexual harassment by the police (terrorists).

We are grateful to every protestor standing out and fighting for Hong Kong! They sacrificed themselves to defend our autonomy. The cruel HK Gov suppress protestors by brutal beating and arbitrary arrest, that’s why we need to continuously resist the tyranny!
What twisted mind and concept of gender empowerment via the nonsensical idea of rioting and violence. Regardless of race, gender, age, all the bullshit rioting and violence that happened in HK would not be allowed in US.

Respect all the women who step up to protests.
Some people think there must be some kind of magic that makes us so determined and valiant. I would say, staying angry by recalling the faces of those who sacrificed is a good way to keep ourselves motivated. HongKong
Tyranny CCP, let Hong Kong know we need to fight for freedom, fight for dual universal suffrage!!

This a war against the tyranny and we must be united regardless of age and gender.
Women here in HongKong are as brave as men. It’s going to cost a lot to fight against CCP but HKers stand up and is ready for this FightForFreedom
Why arent the nations of the world, especially the Free World, doing something? If China get away with this, they will start imposing their will upon all who they deem vulnerable.
This is a movement that subverts the norm that women should be sidlined and kept inside, and firmly reinforces the view that women should be seen as equal to men, albeit slightly different.
People from all walks of life participated in the protests. The democratic values & freedom that the HKprotesters advocate are universal... thanks all women & men for their efforts in fighting for freedom!
let's not just focus on females. when such a disaster is happening, male or female, teens or adults, everyone is to play a role in resisting the claws of the totalitarian monster i.e. china. more people waken by the horrible acts of china so more are resisting. FreeHongKong
HongKong ladies are very respectable. Even if you look at the whole world, you can hardly find such a high percentage of ladies participating in the protest. They are so brave that no one can bully them.
Everyone fights just because we want freedom and democracy, we are angry because human rights are being oppress, and we only want five demands. 5demandsnot1less
Who says women can't join protests, and fight for Hong Kong's future generations? We're in the same boat & every Hong Konger shall bear the responsibility of protecting this beautiful city. Doesn't matter if you're old or young, male or female.
