HONG KONG SAR -
Media OutReach Newswire - 21 July 2026 -
Dawn Chan, Founder and CEO of Sow Fertility, has been named to
Tatler Gen.T's Hong Kong Leaders of Tomorrow 2026,
in recognition of her contributions to advancing women's health,
fertility care, and reproductive healthcare across Hong Kong and the
broader Asian region.
The award highlights Chan's commitment to closing the support gap for
individuals navigating their fertility, maternity and family-building
journeys ? journeys that, for too many, are still undertaken without
guidance, coordination or workplace understanding.
Originally launched in 2016, Gen.T stands for "Generation Tomorrow".
This year the list celebrates its landmark tenth anniversary, marking a
decade of spotlighting the founders, creatives, innovators and
changemakers shaping Asia's future.
Closing the Support Gap
Across Asia, individuals navigating fertility and family-building
decisions are often left to face fragmented care systems, opaque costs
and deeply personal choices largely on their own ? compounded by stigma
and silence around these topics. Sow Fertility was built to close that
gap: not simply to inform, but to stand alongside members through every
stage of the journey.
"When I started Sow Fertility, it came from a simple but deeply personal
belief: fertility and reproductive health should not feel confusing,
isolating, or impossible to navigate alone," said
Dawn Chan, Founder and CEO of Sow Fertility.
That belief is embodied in Sow's Care Companions ? dedicated support
specialists who guide members one-on-one from early exploration and
fertility assessments through treatment, pregnancy and postnatal care.
The result is a model where no one has to piece together their own path:
the guidance, coordination and emotional support are part of the
journey itself.
Destigmatising Fertility and Family Building
Chan's leadership has also focused on normalising conversations around
diverse pathways to parenthood. In many parts of Asia, deeply rooted
cultural norms continue to shape perceptions of fertility and family
building, often limiting open dialogue ? and leaving those on these
journeys without the support of their communities and workplaces.
Through her advocacy, Chan has worked to create space for more inclusive
and transparent conversations ? where options such as fertility
preservation, assisted reproductive technologies, and non-traditional
family structures are understood, respected and supported.
Bringing Support Into the Workplace
For most working adults, the greatest gaps in support appear where they
spend most of their time: at work. Working alongside employers, insurers
and industry bodies, Sow Fertility partners with organisations to build
fertility- and family-building-friendly workplaces ? spanning
fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and, increasingly, perimenopause and
menopause support ? so that employees no longer have to navigate
treatment cycles, appointments and recovery invisibly and alone.
Chan has also been a vocal advocate for improved reproductive health
policies in Hong Kong and across Asia, including expanded access to
fertility treatments, greater affordability, and more comprehensive
support systems. This recognition underscores the importance of aligning
workplace benefits and public policy with the realities of modern
family building, where timelines, choices, and pathways are increasingly
diverse.
A Growing Movement for Reproductive Equity
Dawn Chan's recognition as a Leader of Tomorrow reflects not only her
individual impact, but also a broader shift toward prioritising women's
health and reproductive rights in the region. Sow Fertility remains
committed to building a future where no one navigates their reproductive
health journey alone ? and where support is accessible, stigma-free,
and built into the systems people rely on every day.
