MONDRIAN HONG KONG general manager Dirk Dalichau said that June is just the kickoff for our ongoing and continuous commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, providing a safe space for our guests and employees alike.
“Gender-affirming healthcare is hard to access in Hong Kong. We are very happy to host this event, and make a small contribution by helping to raise much-needed funds for trans healthcare services. It’s a great honour to partner with a number of organisations in Hong Kong that work tirelessly to support this marginalised community and ensure they receive the care and resources they rightfully deserve. ”
