Puja Kapai at 'Silenced South Asian Women Stories of Hong Kong'
Updated: Mar 8, 2021
Our Convenor Puja Kapai recently delivered closing remarks at ‘CHUP: A panel discussion on “The silenced South Asian Woman’s stories of Hong Kong”‘, organised by the Zubin Foundation. The Panel was moderated by Shalini Mahtani, co-founder and Chair of the Zubin Foundation and included Dr. Philip Beh, K. Bhuvaneshwari Bhagat, Archana Kotecha, Dr. Ravina Lalvani, and Gladys Li SC.
As legal advisor to Call Mira, Hong Kong’s first helpline dedicated to supporting marginalised ethnic minority women and girls in Hindi, Urdu, and Nepali set up by the Zubin Foundation, Puja shared her insights on the patterns that can be discerned from the calls received and her views on what different sectors can do to help ethnic minority women and girls reach out and to strengthen their capacities for resilience in the face of violence.
The detail about Call Mira operating in Hindi, Urdu, and Nepali really stands out to me, because language access is often the first barrier that keeps women from ever picking up the phone. Puja's point about patterns in the calls seems like such an important way to turn individual stories into something sectors can actually act on. Speaking of patterns and perception, it reminds me of how something like a matcha filter online can subtly reshape how a scene reads without changing what's actually there. It makes me wonder what the Zubin Foundation's data looks like over time, and whether those patterns have shifted since 2018.
Allison's point that managers typically peg poor quality costs under 5% while the real figure can run 5-30% of gross sales is the kind of gap that makes you question internal reporting. The idea that the visible waste is only the first 5-10% while the rest hides in turnover, overtime, and customer dissatisfaction reminds me of how horror games unblocked keep the real threat off-screen until it's already too late. I'd be curious whether she saw that hidden 15-25% come down faster through structured process work or through better data visibility.
The detail about the VIP Evening at The Minster Building, with judges and partners from Mall Galleries, Artfinder, The Londonist, and The Telegraph, gives the VAO25 finalist exhibition a clear sense of occasion. I was especially drawn to Chiedu Okonta’s We No Go Wear Hoodie for House winning Painting, Mixed Media & Printmaking, since the title alone suggests a strong social commentary. It leaves me curious about how the artist talks shaped the show, and even a short distraction like ヘビゲーム google couldn’t pull me away from that thought for long.
The way the wire frame view breaks the wall into modular pieces really shows how procedural assets can stay flexible. I've been experimenting with similar instanced techniques in my own hobby projects, and the stone texture from the Peak District photos adds a lot of character. It makes me think of 円を描くゲーム, where simple mechanics also come together to create something engaging.
The age cutoff and the no-tryouts policy make this youth soccer league pretty straightforward for families to plan around, and the $45 per child fee is clear too. I also noticed practices start the week of August 11th, so that gives parents a few weeks to sort out black socks and shorts. For anyone juggling multiple sign-ups this season, fnf online is a fun way to unwind after the registration forms are done.
