Sex Peverts in Public Transport Under Check

Head of Child and Women Bureau, Ms. L.R. Amarasena while launching of Public Campaign on sexual harassment against women on public transport at the United Nations (UN)  said yesterday  that women and girls are often silent in case of sexual harassment in public transport because they need to reach their destination soon without getting involved in any legal activity against the harassment, while travelling. Woman can play a vital role to make safer environment for another woman by stressing their voice over such incident. Even bystanders could intervene to prevent when they witness or become aware of incidents of harassment.

Hotline number 119 is always available for immediate help and women and girls can speak out and seek support from the Police for any emergency case.  Now women and girls can use 119 Police Emergency hotline number to make any complaints over sexual harassments; especially on public transports.
