In a concerted effort to minimise secondary victimization of children and women subject to various forms of harassment, trauma and abuse, the Child Protection Force recently launched a Child-Friendly Space in Pelawatte, Battaramulla. The model brings together legal aid, psychological care, and protection/safe housing and coordinated referrals under one roof, reducing repeat interviews, speeding up protection and ensuring survivor dignity.
