Trincomalee women's groups and children protest schoolgirl assaults
05 Jun 2017
Women’s
groups in Trincomalee protested in Muthur, calling for justice for the
three young girls sexually assaulted in the district last week.
Civil
society groups were joined by schoolchildren to demand that as well as
justice to be served to the four attackers, Sri Lanka must do more to
protect women and children.
Last
week, three schoolgirls from Mallikaitheevu, Trincomalee, between the
ages of 6 and 8 were reportedly hospitalised after being assaulted by
four construction workers who were not from the area.
A
week of protests culminated on Friday in a shutdown of areas of the
East, with the Eastern Teachers Union and civil society organisations
undertaking Hartal and protesting for the protection of children.
