WE ARE IN DENIAL!
To *unlearn* decades of malpractices will not be easy or quick...but how do we know if we could have been better if we weren't hit?

Change is possible only if each of us take accountability - really looking forward to getting legislature passed to abolish corporal punishment unequivocally before parliament is dissolved 🤞🏽 #NOguti

Advancing Legal Reforms to End Corporal Punishment - Key highlight was 8yr Sahil’s energetic appeal to expedite implementation before dissolving parliament

When young politicians recognize the civil society contribution it gives equality, justice and hope for all ❤️ #NOguti

In 2017 #SL became the only PATHFINDING country of South Asia SDG 16.2, the National Plan to End Violence Against Children but collapsed in 2018. Cabinet approval must be followed by a robust national action plan. Time to shift up gears UNICEF Sri Lanka #NOguti

Thankful to all UN agencies who have much to do for our children #NOguti

A DAWN OF NEW ERA WITHOUT VIOLENCE!

As GOSL has approved cabinet proposal to abolish corporal punishment in all settings on 29/04/2024, let's change our attitudes and truly end this heinous crime #NOguti #EveryChildEveryRight

IT MUST BE ‘CRITICAL & URGENT’ when President Tweets at 11pm - We reminded Ranil Wickremesinghe it was only the 2nd time dat Cabinet Min 4 Children & Head of State were same since Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga & dat he cud create history with a bold decision. We welcome a new dawn for our children! #NOguti
