Women and Media Collective

At Women & Media Collective, we envision a Sri Lanka where women, girls and individuals of all gender identities enjoy equal rights and opportunities and are able to make their own choices and take charge of their lives.

They will live in peace with respect for themselves and others, free from injustice, discrimination and violence.
