Daily Mirror - Sri Lanka
|November 24, 2025
With no training or protection, many choose sex work as the easiest way to earn money Some are even abused again after returning to society, which pushes them further into this profession Government is considering a proposal to allow these young women to stay in probation centres until age 20 or 21, instead of releasing them at 18

The foundation's Executive Director, H. A. Lakshman, said most of these young women have faced sexual abuse or harassment before being placed in these centres by the courts.
