Fifty four-year-old Jessy Ariaratnam of Mannur Women Development Federation in Mannur, Sri Lanka, says, “Women and men have organised to expose and counter violence against women under ‘We Can’. They have brought the violations out of the shadows and into the spotlight. This initiative may not put a complete halt to violence against women. But it will enable women to stand up and speak out. We need more voices to support the urgent struggle to stop violence against women as acts of violence against women also feed on and reinforce other forms of discrimination.”
