Joint Statement: Calling for the Resignation of Minister of Child Development and Women’s Affairs Tissa Karaliyadde
It is with disbelief and outrage that we read the Sunday Leader article of 13th April titled ‘New Anti Rape Laws Proposed’, where the Minister of Child Development and Women’s Affairs Tissa Karaliyadde has said that proposals on new laws to respond to the large and growing number of rape cases will ensure that rapists are bound by law to marry the victim if she gives her consent to court. This news report indicated that this proposal will be forwarded to the Ministry of Justice for necessary action.
