Today people came door to door asking for food. Not money, actual food. During curfew. That’s how desperate people are. How is the government ensuring there won’t be any starvation of people who can’t afford to buy food anymore? #lka #srilanka #covid19 #covid19lk

People are so desperate they’re coming door to door asking for money to buy things, even during curfew 😔 On any other day I would have worried about drug-users. During this time, you take their word for it and in any way you can. #covid19sl #lka #srilanka

Govt. advice is for one person from household to step out tomorrow. Let’s do one better. Make a list and if you’re young and don’t have a compromised immune system, why not offer to do groceries for parents and neighbours? Remember to wash hands before and after. #lka

To everyone in NYC but ESPECIALLY healthy people & people under 40 (bc from what I’m observing that’s who needs to hear this again): PLEASE stop crowding bars, restaurants, and public spaces right now. Eat your meals at home. If you are healthy, you could be spreading COVID.

When Violence against women in families is normalized, children get affected psychologically and emotionally. Your decision to stand against #GBV can affect everyone in your family. #16DaysOfActivism #OrangeTheWorld #TimesUp

Some days it really feels like the whole world is conspiring against you. Life never seams to be fair but I guess that’s what makes life so special. Cherish every moment, don’t let any opportunity pass you by because one day you’ll wake up and regret where all the time has gone.

The MMDA 'reforms' are an absolute farce! Minors over 16 can still legally enter into a marriage with the approval of a Quazi and no mention of female Quazi's etc. Why is the MMDA being held hostage by a group of old men? dailymirror.lk/print/front_p… #MMDAreform #lka
