Justice Centre’s Lynette Nam Recognised for Her Commitment to Displaced Communities

We’re pleased to share that our Executive Director, Lynette Nam, was named one of the winners of the Tatler Front & Female Awards Hong Kong 2024. The award recognises women in the city who are quietly but powerfully reshaping their sectors—and it’s a thoughtful acknowledgment of Lynette’s steady leadership and years of commitment to those seeking protection in Hong Kong.

Sector colleague and human rights lawyer Patricia Ho highlights not only her deep legal expertise but also her determination to ensure that people forced to flee their homes are met with dignity, care, and fairness. You can read Patricia’s reflection on working alongside Lynette here.

For those curious about Lynette’s journey and what inspires her, last year’s Tatler Gen.T feature offers a deeper insight into her path to Justice Centre and the vision she brings to our work. It’s a reminder that behind every policy paper or case file is a real person—and Lynette continues to shape how our organisation meets that responsibility with clarity and compassion. You can read the full piece here.

At a time when protection pathways are narrowing and the challenges are many, recognition like this is important—not for the spotlight, but for what it reflects: that the work of supporting people seeking safety matters. That doing so with care, professionalism, and persistence matters. And that leadership grounded in purpose makes a difference.
