The Women Parliamentarians’ Caucus has announced plans to lead a global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign in Sri Lanka, with an awareness march titled “This is my right.” The march, which will run from November 25 to December 10, aims to raise awareness about violence against women and promote prevention efforts.
The initiative, which will also include public awareness programmes and the introduction of a digital directory of services, is expected to draw participation from a diverse range of stakeholders, including women parliamentarians, ministers, government officials, civil society representatives, and university students. Discussions at a recent Caucus meeting also addressed child protection and the promotion of children’s rights, with a focus on the Special Children’s Parliamentary Participation Programme and the need for a Children’s Caucus in Parliament.
