H Welcome To Our Site

 

We are all aware that Sri Lankan people are undergoing severe hardships due to the on going war. Women are the most affected either directly or indirectly due to it. These affected women can be classified in to two main groups. The first is women whose next of kin is dead, disabled or missing in action, the other is the next of kin who is a civilian has befallen to one of these unfortunate situations due to the war.  The main objective of our Association is to help these women to integrate in to the society from their isolated situation by addressing their social, economical and mental problems.
        And achieve Peace through Socio-Economic development with the active participation of the War Affected Women
We expect to implement various programs with the cooperation of the civil society to achieve this goal.
We who are war affected do understand well, the pain that all affected women have to undergo... Let’s act collectively to win our rights and privileges.  Let’s use the courage we gain through our pain and work towards a Peaceful Tomorrow for all of us!
