"The 28-page full-colour booklet, with Chinese script, features the daily happenings on two teenagers and their family members in the settings of school, family and workplace," he said.
One could find answers to the following questions in the first two sections of the booklet: What does the Sex Discrimination Ordinance do? What is discrimination? What areas of activity does the Ordinance cover? The last section deals with: What is sexual harassment? What should you do if you are discriminated against or sexually harassed? And what does the Equal Opportunities Commission do?
The Sex Discrimination Ordinance, enacted in July 1995, renders it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the grounds of sex, marital status and pregnancy. It also makes sexual harassment an offence.
Free copies of the comic book will be distributed to women and youth groups, public libraries, secondary schools, tertiary educational institutions and community organisations.
They are now available at the Marketing Office of the Government Information Services, 17th floor, Siu On Centre, 176-192 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, and all district offices.

Advice for students seeking private tuition overseas
The Education Department reminds students to be cautious when applying for admission to pre-university, commerce or technical courses in private institutions
overseas.
"Students should never make applications too hastily, especially if the proceedings involve depositing a large down-payment as registration or tuition fees," Senior Education Officer, Mr Lo Man-fai, said today (Thursday).
"Instead, they should consult the relevant non-profit making organisations or the respective Consulates or Commissions of the countries concerned, with regard to the standing of the institutions in which they wish to study before making application for admission."
