香港的失明人為了克服視障所帶來的岐視和偏見,在五十年前已展開自助運動,爭取平等機會和基本權利一為自己的權利發聲,為自己的前途出力。透過舉辦社交、教育及文娛活動、教育公眾、進行研究及參與政府的諮詢架構,以界定失明人的需要及提供服務、就政策事宜向政府提出建議,以及向服務機構表達意見。這些都是這五十年來香港失明人自助運動的成果。
《亡目無礙》記載了香港失明人協進會自1964年來,與香港視障人士一同參與這場自助運動的點點滴滴。
社會名人推薦:
「1964年,一群熱心的視障人士率先成立香港失明人協進會,積極為視障人士的幸福打拼,成為自助組織的典範。」──張建宗
「成立半世紀,協進會排除萬難⋯⋯展現視障人士的實力與潛能,造福香港。」──余黎青萍
「書中有感人肺腑的篇章,有使人讚嘆不已的故事;但更重要的,是書中每一段描述,每一則軼事,都足以對後來者起鼓勵的作用⋯⋯為此,我誠意推介這本文集給大家,並相信它能為讀者帶來很大的裨益。」──沈祖堯
「這本書記述了他們的奮鬥過程,讓我們這些所謂視力正常的人開了眼界,也擴闊了視野。今日的香港社會盲從附和,對政治現實視而不見,對社會不公視蒼無睹,我們實有必要向不視而見的失明人協進會學習。」──林沛理

Visual impairers in Hong Kong have been organising self-help movements for 50 years, in order to overcome discrimination and prejudice brought by the visual disability, to strike for equal opportunities and basic human rights, and to voice out and create their own future. By organising social, educational, cultural and leisure activities, public education campaigns, conducting research and being involved in government’s consultation, the Hong Kong Blind Union is able to define blinds’ needs and provide services accordingly. These self-help movements also allow the Union to provide policy recommendations to the government and opinions to service organisations.
This book records little affairs of the self-help movements organised by the visual impairers together with the Hong Kong Blind Union from 1964.
The book is recommended by Mr. Matthew Cheung Kin-chung (Secretary for Labour and Welfare), Mrs. Helen Yu Lai Ching-ping (former Director of Education), Dr. Joseph Sung Jao-yiu (Vice-Chancellor of Chinese University of Hong Kong), Mr. Lin Peili (columnist).
Hong Kong Blind Union was established in 1964. It is the first self-help group organised and managed by people with visual impairment. It aims at promoting the spirit of self-help and mutual-help as well as striving for equality, opportunities and independence for visual impaired persons.
