Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Member. Because of such incidents, we must strengthen and, where necessary, reform the law. Beyond law and procedure, we must also strengthen society itself. Abuses occur across the spectrum—men against men, women against women, women against men, men against women, and against children. To change this, we must build a humane nation where people truly care for one another. Our Government is committed to programmes that do so. We believe in this strongly and will work together with all to achieve it. Thank you.
