The Anti-Mui Tsai Society was an organisation founded in 26 March 1922 dedicated to abolishing the Mui-tsai system (akin to child slavery) in colonial Hong Kong.
Background
Influence
The Anti-Mui Tsai Society marked the increasing social activism of Chinese Christians and labour unions in colonial Hong Kong.[1]
Its opponents included the Society for the Protection of the Mui Tsai, which was backed by prominent merchants in the Chinese community, including Lau Chu Pak, Ho Fook and Ho Kum Tong.
