Let’s End Violence against Women in Sri Lanka/* Part 02*/
February 132010
The 2009 International Womens Day global theme acknowledges violence against women as a human rights violation that undermines womens contribution to the economic, social and political advancement of their societies and the world. Violence against women is recognized as a grave problem in Sri Lanka, which requires a coordinated response by all sectors. In Sri Lanka the most prevalent types of violence against women are rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, sexual violence, forced prostitution and trafficking. These crimes are not particular to a certain region or locality, but are widespread and cut across class, race, religion and ethnicity. In many cases these violations are hidden, this is especially true of domestic violence. Women not only face violence in the home but in their workplaces, public transport, public places, schools and institutions. Furthermore, the unique circumstances of women in the plantations, Free Trade Zones, migrant worker destinations and in refugee camps in the conflict-affected areas, make them more vulnerable to violence.
On this International Women’s Day, we take time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in ending violence against women and girls. We call on more men and boys to stand up, speak out and refrain from violence against women and girls. We also urge all persons in positions of power and authority to ensure that systems and mechanisms are in place to promote an end to violence against women. Together, change is possible and change will come if we work in solidarity to end violence against women and girls.
