The message:
"During recent times, we have seen high incidence of crimes committed against children. Child abuse takes place for a wide variety of reasons. It could be due to lack of proper education and socio-economic and cultural reasons. This kind of violence cuts across ethnic, class, economic and social divide. It affects boys and girls of different ages.
"I urge all members of Sri Lankan society to network with us in our efforts to take preventive measures and also assist in the rehabilitation of victims so that all children grow up to become productive citizens."
join us to help children to become productive citizens
