"Actually, this industry is very dark. You can get something by giving your body. It may be an opportunity for a movie audition (casting), or an opportunity to be the protagonist. Do you think it is worth it?


"Actually, this industry is very dark. You can get something by giving your body. It may be an opportunity for a movie audition (casting), or an opportunity to be the protagonist. Do you think it is worth it?" Model When Rachel first came out, she was asked to have sex as a condition in exchange for an acting contract, which made her rethink her own identity.

What is the value of "sex"?


Everyone has different bottom lines and moral standards for "sex", and the law may be one of the ways for everyone to protect the bottom line.

In contrast, Hong Kong's laws on sexual crimes, including rape, have remained unchanged for 44 years. Can it effectively protect everyone's sexual autonomy?


When Rachel was 18 years old, she participated in an actor training class to pursue her dream and graduated with honors.

The director in charge of the training class intends to make her debut as an actor under his banner, and invites her to a residence to discuss the signing of the contract.

Rachel was not afraid of fraud at the time, and told her mother in advance that she was reminded to record the whole process, and then went to the appointment alone.

On the same day, the male director took out a two-page contract and asked her to read the terms carefully. After signing it, she took it home and studied it in detail. After that, he began to talk to her about the "way of survival" in the entertainment industry.

The two pages were finished soon, and he started to talk to me. Actually, do you know what is the most important thing about being an actor?

Most importantly... what it means is to give up on yourself.

He said: "When you are acting, all the characters are constantly switching (switching), you don't have yourself".

The male director used the famous actress Shu Qi as an example, saying, "People are from tertiary films, and they have to dry their shirts in front of the director. Can you?" Rachel was panicked and at a loss.

Before she could react, the male director continued: "You signed this contract, you know what it means? It means that you belong to me personally, that is to say, it belongs to me", "So you can't date straight ", "You all belong to me."

Rachel said frankly that the male director’s language at the time made her very uncomfortable, and she also mentioned, "You go home to talk to people, you are a perverted director, and you tell me not to enter", "Even if you sit at home, I You have to rape me", "All the CCTVs downstairs are showing that you voluntarily went up with me, and you told me not to come up with me", which shocked her deeply.

Fortunately, the male director gave her the right to choose, and Rachel categorically gave up the contract and left directly.

Before stepping out of the house, Rachel was asked to check the phone. The male director found the recording and scolded her, "Do you think your behavior is so rude?" and asked her to apologize. Although she felt helpless, she still wanted to leave as soon as possible. And apologized: "Can I order it? At that time, I just wanted to leave quickly, and I could only say 'sorry'."

Wow!

It turns out, what about the entertainment industry?

When I didn't even enter the side, I had already encountered such things. In fact, for this kind of thing, when the entertainment industry entered the face of sex, I would think, ah!

So it turns out that I want to give up all my things and not expose myself.

This incident once made Rachel deter her dream of being an actor, and she did not dare to set foot in the entertainment circle after entering university.

After graduation, she was lucky enough to meet her current manager and continue to work as an artist.

She has been in the showbiz for several years, and she does not deny that she is dark in her life, and she often sacrifices her body to make her career flourish.

You can get something by giving your body, maybe a chance for a movie audition (casting), maybe a chance to be a leading role, so do you think it is worth it?

In fact, I find it very difficult to measure. I don’t have an answer myself. I don’t know if I will betray myself because of a precious opportunity. So in fact, all these things are very, very worthy of myself, or The same thing for girls to think about.

I myself don't know what my final decision will be.

In recent years, Rachel has been in contact with private film work. She was once asked to let the photographer touch her body. After she refused, she was reprimanded for not knowing the "rules". Rachel did not dare to refute angrily. It's a shame to offend people, because especially when I'm nothing, I have no qualifications. I'm so shocked, hey, this girl is so good. If there is another chance, I'm so sorry Well, people will think that I don’t have to cooperate, and I’m not a good character.” However, she emphasized that everyone must have their own bottom line, and once they encounter something they don’t want to do, they must act appropriately. "say no".

The Anti480 Anti-Sexual Violence Resource Center held a workshop titled "Guarding My Sweet Body "Unlock" the Body and Soul" earlier, through exhibitions, real-life libraries, etc., to discuss the issues of "sexual violence" and "body autonomy".

Liu Yiqi, an intern social worker in charge of the workshop, pointed out that the crime of rape in Hong Kong has remained unchanged for 44 years, and there are many loopholes. In addition, the criminal system of "suspect benefits belong to the defendant" often allows rapists to escape the law.

Let me tell you an example. I went to a friend’s house, and then I raped him. When the crime happened, I had a chance to escape. Even when I had a phone by my side, I could call for help, but I didn’t do it. When the time comes, it is a reasonable doubt.

It's a bit of a victim blaming idea, so why don't you call for help when you have a phone?

This becomes a reasonable doubt to acquit the defendant.

According to Section 118 of the Crimes Ordinance, Chapter 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong, there are three definitions of rape.

1. Any man who impersonates a married woman as her husband and induces the woman to have sexual intercourse with him; 2. Any man who has unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman when the woman does not consent to it; Not consenting to sexual intercourse, or reckless as to whether the woman consented to it.

The latest addition to the relevant legislation was already in 1978.

The reporter searched the information and found that the Hong Kong Law Reform Commission’s Sexual Offenses Review Subcommittee’s consultation document “Rape and Other Non-consensual Sexual Offenses” pointed out that the wording used in the law reflects that only men can be convicted as the principal offender. For the crime of rape, only women can become victims of rape, and the act of sexual intercourse must include the insertion of a male sexual organ (ie penis) into a woman's vagina, and does not include penetration of a penis into the complainant's anus or mouth.

In December 2019, the Law Reform Commission published the report "Review of Substantial Sexual Offenses", and finally suggested that the term "rape" should be discarded and replaced by a crime of sexual assault by penetration without consent, including Vaginal or anal penetration, and penile penetration into another person's mouth.

The report also proposes to replace the crime of "indecent assault" with a new crime of "sexual assault", focusing on "sexual" rather than "indecent" behavior, and recommends a definition of the word "sexual" for the ultimate Consistent with the principle of respect for individual sexual autonomy.

However, the Security Bureau's latest response to the report "Review of Substantial Sexual Offenses" is after the Law Reform Commission completed its consultation on the sentencing of sexual offenses in February 2021.

The authorities believe that the consultation is part of a review of substantive sexual offences, so the government will also consider the recommendations made by the Law Reform Commission on related matters.

The Law Reform Commission published the report "Sentencing and Related Issues in the Review of Sexual Offenses" again in five years this year, but the government has yet to respond.

Liu Yiqi said that the Anti-Sexual Violence Resource Center has always hoped to promote changes in relevant laws, "Maybe there may not be a big change, at least it is possible to start small. Maybe some definitions of sexual intercourse, and even helping same-sex people, we all The department is working hard on publicity, hoping to change it, but the road to this department is very long.”

In the first half of the year, there were 689 sexual violence cases, a new high in 12 years. Rape cases accounted for 14% last year.
