Cet article examine des questions associées à la nouvelle réorganisation des unités de services pour la protection de l'enfance et de la famille à Hong Kong. Les questions liées aux abus envers les conjointes ont principalement fait l'objet de débats, les arguments présentés exprimant une marginalisation et une désexualisation du problème de violence conjugale découlant de cette initiative. Il est noté qu'une approche de type multi-agences se trouve à la';base d'un service `à guichet unique' offert aux victimes de violence domestique.
