Amidst a growing need for robust measures concerning the protection of children in Sri Lanka, there are many interventions in place to create awareness and reach communities in rural areas. These interventions take various forms and offer support, awareness and guidance to children in vulnerable communities.
According to The National Child Protection Agency (NCPA) over 11,000 cases of child abuse ranging from cruelty and neglect to sexual violence were reported in 2021. Creating awareness of the need to be safe in the community has been a priority for the children in underprivileged communities.
