THE BOOK - A CHRONICLE OF RESILIENCE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE

“Our Children” is a poignant collection of real-life stories narrated by victims and survivors of child abuse, providing them with a platform to voice their traumatic experiences. Many share their stories for the first time, marking a significant step in their healing journey. The narratives cover various forms of abuse—physical, sexual, and mental—and include one tragic account of suicide, recounted by the grieving mother.

Each story carries a unique message to the public, supported by evidence-based insights from experts in legal, child psychology, education, and law enforcement fields. Co-authored by the winner of the inter-school debate competition ‘A Generation’s Appeal’ to end child abuse and reputable authors, the book will be published in Sinhala and translated into Tamil and English, approved by the Ministry of Education for distribution in schools, and recommended for children aged 12 and above.
