Changing Gender Equality Through the Lens

Intertek Hong Kong is delighted to collaborate with Lensational, a non-profit organization that empowers women from underrepresented groups through photography.

Lensational is an inspiring global organization that supports underprivileged women and girls by providing them with the necessary tools and guidance to share their stories through photography. By equipping these women with the skillset to express themselves, Lensational helps them build self-confidence and promotes their social and economic well-being.

Intertek invited Lensational member Mae, to play the role of official photographer at Intertek events, and featured photographs taken by another member, Anissa Fitri on our corporate souvenirs. These projects showcased the incredible talent and resilience of women, while also promoting their stories and creative expression.

Felicia Xu, Lensational Global Programme Officer, says: "Lensational trains women from underrepresented communities and empowers them to share their stories and advocate for the issues they face. We are glad to work with Intertek and to learn that many corporations are paying more attention to women's rights and empowerment."

Says Grace Li, Vice President, Human Resources, Greater China and Hong Kong Regional Management: "Care for our community is never far from our minds. As always, Intertek prioritises our corporate social responsibility initiatives and strives to give back to the community. By partnering with philanthropic organizations such as Lensational, Intertek is helping to create a sustainable future and foster a culture of empathy and inclusion within the organization."
