Educators in Sri Lanka, let's pay attention. Our children reflect the world around them. Let's reclaim respect.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

When respect comes to = power i.e. I am more powerful so respect me, our young minds will soon forget respect's essence - humility.

@WorldPolicy @MelodyMoezzi Women in Western countries still have battles to fight. We need homegrown local lasting solutions.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy It is time we stopped feeling a misguided (often expertly), ill informed sense of shame when discussing sex and sexuality.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy Sexuality is integral to discussions in all spheres. Like politics,religion, economics etc, it is what makes us human.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy @IntlWomen Another challenge is recognizing what harms, and the most difficult challenge is defining harm.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy @IntlWomen SL's patriarchy is entrenched, i.e. CULTURE. To challenge it, we have to challenge "anything" that harms the other.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy @IntlWomen Schools guys. We have to get into schools. We have to engage parents, teachers, kids, administrators... Bottom up.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy @itsjina Sadly, true. Has it ever been any different? Marginalized groups have much to learn from women. How to fight stigma.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy Don't leave out the teachers and support staff - a comprehensive programme must involve all stakeholders.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy Let the kids learn that boys and girls are human, more similar than different. Let the parents learn too.They must be included.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@WorldPolicy accurate and comprehensive age appropriate sexuality education in schools.

[Grassrooted Trust @GrassrootedSL]

@IntlWomen @WorldPolicy our answers are in schools. Kids who don't know better. Parents who don't know better. Let's fix this.
