The mostly #tamil women who showed extraordinary bravery in returning 2 Iranaitivu Island w/o permission & despite navy presence after decades displaced need practical help with kerosene lamps, toilets & drinking water but seems nobody willing to support them. All talk no action.
Train attendant on Colombo-Jaffna train I was on today, sexually and verbally harassed a Tamil woman. He didn’t stop when I stepped in but got more abusive + racist (anti-Tamil) towards me and the woman & tried to hit me. No seniors to complain to on the train. #lka
