  • Zi Teng (Chinese: 紫藤; pinyin: zǐténg) is a non-governmental organisation that cares about the basic rights of women who live in Hong Kong and those who came from mainland China, especially sex workers. Ziteng is formed by social workers, women studies researchers, church workers and labour activists, etc. Zi Teng provides assistance to sex workers from Hong Kong and China in the form of legal advices and health care. Aiming to build up mutual support through networking, Zi Teng operates a 24-hour paging systems in case of emergency. According to the organisation's website, the name "Zi Teng" is the Chinese for Acorus calamus. "The plant is described as extraordinarily tough and strong, often growing unnoticeably alongside other wild grasses." The organisation uses "Zi Teng" to symbolise the character of tough but low-profile working women. Other sources, however, translate Zi Teng as Wisteria sinensis., while Acorus calamus is in Chinese: 菖蒲; pinyin: chāngpú. (en)
