Tamil civil society held protests in Kilinochchi and Vavuniya calling on the government to take action on the ongoing sexual violence that people in the North-East faced.
Hundreds of members of civil society including teachers, school children, businesses and professionals marched through Vavuniya demanding justice for a series of rapes that had occurred in the North-East over the past month.
The protests were sparked by the 3 rape incidents over the past week that were reported in Vavuniya, Semmalai and Mallavi.
