Petitions / 2020

Stop Child Cruelty Trust Launched Two Petitions, Which Were Hugely Successful in Attracting Public Support on Protecting and Promoting Child Rights in Sri Lanka

End Corporal Punishment in Schools in Sri Lanka Vision 2020

Petition launched on: 12th September 2018
Number of signatures: over 5000 (on-line and physical signatures)

Sri Lanka ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1992. Since then, there have been 6 parliamentary elections, 9 prime ministers and 4 executive presidents. However, despite the many pledges made by successive governments and a plethora of proposals, the National Action Plan for the Promotion of Human Rights 2011-2016, pledging a ban on corporal punishment, and circulars by the Ministry of Education in 7/2005, 12/2016, and 12/2016, corporal punishment is rampant in schools.

Second Petition Section

Place the second half of the story here when you are ready.

This right-hand text block is arranged to work with the image beside it, matching the kind of alternating layout in your reference screenshot.

When you send the final text, I can slot it into these blocks and keep the images in the same positions.
