social welfare has been an integral component of state policy since its independence in 1948. Government provision of education and healthcare is free. There is no overt gendered discrimination for girls and boys to enter the schooling system, or for women and men to access health care.<\/p><p>The exception to this \u2018universal\u2019 social welfare roll out was, of course, the period of the 30-year ethnic conflict and war during which the greatly reduced delivery of state social welfare in pockets of the war zone partially outside government control.<\/p><p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/supwr.org\/event\/exploring-unpaid-care-work-as-social-reproduction-in-state-welfare-programmes-in-sri-lanka\/\">seminar<\/a>, Dr. Sepali Kottegoda briefly examines the discourse on social reproduction in the formulation of social protection policies in Sri Lanka. How does the state define the family, household, and women in its programmes that aim at poverty alleviation, the welfare of household members with disabilities, and, the elderly? She shares some of the findings from research on unpaid care work, the gender pay gap, and some aspects of women\u2019s responses to the recently implemented poverty alleviation programme, drawing from debates on inclusion and exclusion of gender in the formulation of state programmes in Sri Lanka.<\/p><p><strong>About the Speaker<\/strong><\/p><p>Dr. Sepali Kottegoda is a founder member of the Women and Media Collective.
