Thirty five-year-old Srichitra Kadirawen, a teacher in Batticaloa district in Sri Lanka, has been involved with ‘We Can’ for over two years. “I grew up in a society where social roles in society were clearly defined with the sense of a ‘good girl’ deeply ingrained. A ‘good girl’ was supposed to remain indoors, walk with eyes downcast, keep to strict routines, do most of the housework and obey the rules laid down. But a quiet revolution is taking place. Women are beginning to ask for equal rights and equal space in the social sphere. The ‘We Can’ campaign is one such effort that is seeking equal space in society for women by eliminating violence against them.”
