The Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) is a public body in Hong Kong that investigates discrimination complaints and promotes equality. It was created in 1996 as the city's first semi-governmental agency focused on sex discrimination. Its scope has since been expanded to include protecting groups based on race, disability, and family status.
