Community Conversations
The research study centres on the experiences of women who actively engaged in the WRN Community Conversations (CC) across various districts of Sri Lanka, including: Jaffna, Mannar, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Colombo, Nuwara Eliya, Puthlam, and Colombo.
WRN has dedicated its efforts to addressing and advocating for the rights, freedoms, and full participation of women and girls in South Asia the past 14 years and in East Africa for the past 5 years. Our work has taken on added urgency and depth as we focus on the dire human rights violations against Afghan women and girls.
WE BELIEVE THAT
Women are the key to constructing an indivisible and sustainable peace predicated on justice.
Afghanistan, Pakistan and India make up the crossroads of South Asia.
It has become hard to narrate an Afghan, a Pakistani, or indeed an Indian story divorced from the internecine conflict - internal or international. On their own, neither the State nor the private sphere can be relied upon to guarantee women’s freedom from violence and harassment, or fair and impartial justice. Therefore, it is critical that women civil society organizations work collaboratively to face the multitude of threats women face inside and outside of their homes.
