Why Sri Lanka Needs a Sexual Revolution
The plight of a sex worker in Ratnapura, who was assaulted by a cop in public and now has her mother remanded over trumped up charges of prostitution is microscopic of the evils that beset Sri Lankan society.When the victim complained, the police refused to press charges against their ilk and tried to bribe the woman to withdraw her complaint. Failing that, they orchestrated a demonstration by the local three-wheeler wallahs against the aggrieved woman and proceeded to arrest her 65-year-old- mother, who was later remanded.
