Hong Kong Urban Slum Photos Show Incredibly Cramped Spaces for Residents [PHOTOS]

In Hong Kong spaces are small and a series of beautifully taken photographs shows just how cramped spaces are for many people living in the urban slums of the Asian metropolis.

Ho Hei Wah said that the underprivileged include boat people, resettlement estate residents and squatters. SoCo was formed in 1971 by activists and officials.

"Faced with rapid changes in society, SoCO has continuously worked together with grassroots people to fight for a reasonable livelihood by upholding the principles of "equality for everybody," "promotion of civil rights" and "implementing justice".

'Originally an underprivileged group of people has, in unison, become a stronger force to propel the reform of an unjust social system," he said to The Daily Mail.

"We will continue to soldier on with the underprivileged and hope more people will join forces with us to safeguard human rights and the rule of law, thus enabling the development of a caring and just society."
