The New Paper
We're sorry for 'trauma' but not for our programmes

AWARE president Dana Lam has apologised to the association's supporters - the teachers, parents, students, 'a certain NMP' and others who have drawn flak from employers and public.

Ms Lam was referring to the controversy surrounding the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware).

She was speaking at Aware's Top Girls at the Gala Performance on Saturday.

She also apologised to sponsors who have been funding their activities for a good 24 years, volunteers, and members of the staff for what she called 'inadvertent trauma of the past weeks'.

However, she said, the association is not making any apologies for their programmes.

We make no apologies for the support of straight, homosexual or any other members, she added.
