Dr. Sonia Wong Yuk Ying obtained her PhD in Cultural Studies at Lingnan University in 2017, and now teaches Gender Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her research interests include lesbian identity, female sexuality, film, new media and local history. 

In 2013, she founded Reel Women Hong Kong, the first and only independent film festival in Hong Kong devoted to the promotion of female-created films and art works, as well as gender equality and awareness, in society. In 2018, she founded the first Women’s Festival in Hong Kong with Eaton HK and Sally Coco, aiming at further popularising gender consciousness and diversity.
