The European Human Rights Organization has alleged that women are being sexually abused when subjected to body searches in the North and East. A report released by the organization states that incidents reported from Sri Lanka were in violation of the UN conventions on abusing women.

The report further states that the sexual abuse of women under the guise of body searches have seen an increase in the North and East. It also notes that such a situation was a dangerous trend following the end of the war.
