Legal Reforms and Human Rights
Sri Lanka's Justice Minister and UN officials are discussing rule of law reforms and human rights issues, including documented cases of police abuse against LGBTI individuals and concerns about equal protection under the law.
Nothing says "we're serious about human rights" like tweeting about rule of law reforms while your actual citizens are too scared to report crimes to the people supposedly protecting them—but hey, at least the hashtags are trending, right?
In #SriLanka, “Fathima,” a 25-year-old transgender woman, did not report being beaten because she feared the police “won’t protect someone like me.” @hrw has documented widespread police abuse of LGBTI people. How many more must suffer in silence? 1/ https://t.co/ObqzIfN2o3
