Gender based violence in SRI Lanka- Concerning

Found this clip of high percentage of women experimenting common violent sexual crimes in SRI Lanka. Alarming!

There is easy access to women and women have little privacy. Abuse typical on buses. Apparently it is difficult to come forward with allegations....society not equipped to handle. Some women experience sexual harrassment everyday. In need of agencies and hotlines to help.

I wanted to see how other cultures are handling this very topic...its widespread and intolerable acts....something that needs to be looked at in a more global light.
