There is universal law pertaining to anti-discrimination on individuals based on family status, which concerns their responsibility for the care of immediate family members. The Family Status Discrimination Ordinance (Cap. 527) protects people on the basis of family status in different areas, including employment, education, provision of goods, services and facilities, disposal and management of premises, eligibility to vote for and to be elected or appointed to advisory bodies, participation in clubs, and activities of the Government (Department of Justice, 2018).
