UN Report Finds Sri Lanka Has Not Addressed Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Against Tamils

A UN report highlights that sexual violence against Tamil civilians, primarily by Sri Lankan security forces during the civil war ending in 2009, remains largely unaddressed. The report details ongoing impacts on survivors, including physical and psychological harm, and notes a persistent climate of intimidation and stigma. It calls on the Sri Lankan government to fulfill commitments for accountability, reparations, and reforms to address these violations and support survivors.
