It provides services and training to empower women to change the society with their capability. It also helps women to set up workers cooperatives to run business with economic democracy strategies, explore alternatives to address women's economic need and restore their dignity. An example is \u201cCU Women Cooperative\u201d \uff08\u5973\u5de5\u5408\u4f5c\u793e\uff09. Workers in the kiosk are considered \u201cmembers\u201d, and are awarded the same hourly wage regardless of their experience. They hold meetings in discussing daily issues of the kiosk, from what food to serve to the usage of revenue. Profit made by the kiosk was used in supporting the establishment of other cooperatives, as well as funding local labour activities.<\/div>                                                            <a class=\"d-inline-block mt-3 hkuccsg-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/rghj11pvjpylu7y\/No.%205%20HKWWA.mp4?dl=0\" target=\"_blank\">\n                                    View Video                                <\/a>\n                                                                        <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"tab-pane fade show \" id=\"pills-d28bbb8-2\" style=\"text-align: left\">\n                                                                                                                <div class=\"h5\">The Federation of Vegetable Marketing Co-Operative Societies (FVMCS): Building a Vegetable Marketing Networks for Farmers in Hong Kong.<\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"tab-pane-p\">Established in 1953 by a group of farmers in Hong Kong, FVMCS is a farmer\u2019s organisation with more than 20 member cooperative societies from different region of the territory.
