Support Services - Sri Lanka
As part of our on-going effort to collect and share information to end violence against women, we attempt to provide a list of services which women victims can use to reach out for support and protection like local help lines, crisis and counseling centers, non-government organisations, temporary shelters and legal aid cells.
