Justice, silence, and the growing crisis of rape in Sri Lanka

This haunting question confronts us once again, as a leading newspaper recently reported the dismissal of an appeal by a man convicted of raping a 15 year old girl in Sri Lanka.While the court's decision affirms justice, the incident itself exposes a far more disturbing reality, rape remains a widespread and growing issue in our country.

This case is not an isolated incident. Across Sri Lanka, reports of sexual violence continue to rise, with many victims being minors. Even more alarming is the fact that countless cases remain unreported due to fear, shame, and social stigma.
