Sri Lanka: UN plans to promote women in politics

In spite of legal provision of women's representation in public representation in Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka has been fostering women's political contribution to the "violence and eradication of violence" against gender violence in collaboration with the UN Population Fund.
While 52 per cent of the total population in Sri Lanka, women represent 5.3 per cent in parliament, 4 per cent in provincial councils and 1.9 per cent in local councils.
Local bodies have been legally confirmed for women in the councils due to the amendments made in the election law and provincial councils election law a few months ago. This opportunity is also expected in Parliament.
The Sri Lankan Gender Based Violence Association, the main organizer of the program, claims that violence against women is a key factor in preventing their political participation.
Sexual assaults, threats, physical assault, warnings, financial tensions, warnings, inaccurate media reports and slogging on social networks are indicated as violence against women.
The awareness campaigns are being initiated to create a non-violent electoral environment for women under the nationwide campaign of 16 days "to choose her, to eradicate violence" in the Representative Councils.
Signatures are also collected to obtain a guarantee from the general public under this program.
"I respect and accept the rights of women who participate in politics.
I will not spread rumors, negative campaigns, recordings, forests, e-mails, and literature that will make them worse for women.
I will not force or intimidate my family members, friends and relatives to vote against their wishes.
I urge political parties, public servants and the general public to take action against those who act against the political rights of women.
I will support women's participation in politics as equal partners in democratic processes. "
