Depression, stress and the ‘hidden’ plight of Hong Kong’s ethnic minority women in focus after family tragedy involving 3 dead girls and troubled mother

Hong Kong’s ethnic minority women are vulnerable because of a lack of opportunities to integrate into society, a concern group has warned after three young girls from the community were allegedly killed by their mother who was said to be facing marital problems.
The Zubin Foundation, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of marginalised members of ethnic minority groups, said 80 per cent of its 213 clients were classified as “severe” or “extremely severe” on a questionnaire measuring psychological distress such as anxiety and stress.

Among the 213 respondents in the March poll, 85 per cent were women, with most being Pakistanis, followed by Indians and Nepalis.
