Equal Justice 平義社 is a Hong Kong-based nonprofit dedicated to making the law more accessible and understandable for everyone. We believe that justice should never depend on wealth, status, or connections. Our mission is to close the justice gap by providing legal education, resources, and support to individuals and communities who might otherwise be excluded from the legal system. Through outreach, advocacy, and collaboration, we aim to build a fairer society where people know their rights and can exercise them confidently. To date, we have helped nearly 3,000 people and remain deeply committed to developing digital solutions that bridge access-to-justice gaps.
