WIN is the pioneer centre in Sri Lanka committed to the elimination of domestic violence and other forms of violence against women. e.g. rape, sexual harassment and incest. Domestic violence includes physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, social and economic abuse by one partner to control or dominate the other partner. Domestic violence occurs in families regardless of nationality, race or employment. Most victims are women, although a small number of men also suffer this abuse. Research studies suggest that the incidence of domestic violence is as high as 60% in some areas in Sri Lanka.
