TW: child abuse, sexual abuse

How many cases of #childabuse do the Sri Lankan authorities need to realize how bad the problem is? Just this week alone we're hearing of so many cases. Have any of you experienced any form of sexual abuse as a child? #SriLanka
A 15 year old girl has been brought into work at Rishard Bathiudeens house (child labour) and she has reportedly being sexually abused. She is now dead.

Another 14 year old girl was raped by 5 men including her father.
A 15 year old girl was trafficked and repeatedly exploited by a group of 30+ men including a doctor, a foreign politician, a monk. She was previously raped by her own father.

When the education ministry tried to introduce a sex ed book to schools, who was most against it?
There's no point hiding behind conservative values and religion when trying to teach children about child abuse - it is necessary and it has to be done, clearly religion nor innocence will save them.
I compiled this thread of cases last year, but haven't kept it up. It has some reminders on how bad the issue of child abuse really is

Should the government consider mandating the vaccine? (Yeah yeah don't come at me with free will and all that shit). I know so many who are thoroughly misinformed about the vaccine & the disease and are simple avoiding taking the vaccine.
#SriLanka #COVID19 #CovidVaccine
They are scared to take the vaccine because they think they'll die in a year, or die of blood clots, or become infertile or they think its not necessary (මෙච්චර කල් හිටියා මුකුත් නැතුව) or worse, "God will protect us".
Many who don't want to take the vaccine say "so when the others take, we'll be fine no" 😒 yeah, what if everyone thought that and didn't get it? At the very least, the government should consider a strong campaign to dispel the misinformation (hello, Itukama funds)

Exhibit 2 - no forced vaccinations, but yes to forced cremations

Hey .@LowyInstitute you should consider some narrative analysis to your Covid-response ranking. Did you the know the #SriLanka govt is forcibly cremating its #COVID19 victims (inc. 20-day old infants) disregarding the religious & human rights of its citizens? #forcedcremations
Also did you know .@LowyInstitute that SL cabinet ministers have promoted an unknown potion made by some quack as a "miracle" #COVID19 cure? And are refusing to accept responsibility for their part in it?
Did you know .@LowyInstitute that thousands of SL migrant workers are without proper food, water, housing or money stuck in the middle East because our govt is not repatriating them back home? And when they do, it is not the state bearing a significant part of the cost of it?
