|April 30, 2026
Sahil Manan (11 years old) and Shashyanu Deeghayu Munasinghe (10 years old) have sent the following Open Letter to the Women and Child Affairs Minister Saroja Savithri Paulraj on the International Day to End Corporal Punishment
DEAR Minister Paulraj,
We hope you remember us. We came to meet you on 28 February 2025 with the Child Protection Alliance to talk about ending corporal punishment in schools in Sri Lanka. This was the photo we took on that day.
You assured us that protecting children was a priority for your government. At the beginning of this month, we were happy to hear that the Education Ministry issued circular 11/2026 informing schools that corporal punishment is banned.
