SLA Humiliates
Women in Jaffna
December 7, 2004 -(TamilNet) "Women in Jaffna
suffer humiliation daily. Smartly dressed women are asked whether
they belong to the Liberation Tigers and whether they received military
training.
Women, especially those with fair complexion, are sexually harassed,
said Ms Padmini Sithamparanathan, Tamil National Alliance (TNA)
parliamentarian speaking during the voting at the Committee stage
of Ministry of Social Welfare, parliamentary sources said. "If
we want to quantify, a conservative estimate is, harassment incidents
happen atleast once every hour.
"In Jaffna around 550 persons, mostly men were victims of involuntary
disappearance in 1996. Many families have lost their breadwinners.
There are now 23,079 war widows who have been forced to become the
breadwinners.
"The Interim Self Governing Authority (ISGA) is an absolute
necessity for the Tamil people to address several such grievances
and to ensure that displaced people are rehabilitated without delay,"
she added.
