- Invisible Victims: Sri Lankan War Scars -

“My husband disappeared 25 years ago. Nobody thinks he is still alive, but I do. War is over now, but my war is not over yet, not until he comes back to our home ”
-A woman in Central Sri Lanka-　

One of Asia’s longest civil war ended in May, 2009, after a massive offensive by the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the north of the country. Over 25 years, 80,000 people were killed and thousands more disappeared.

War is over, but there are unknown numbers of war wounded, widows, orphans and war-affected children living silently all over the country. Since the Sri Lankan government has not allowed most foreign journalists or NGOs into the country to see the war or its aftermath, victims become invisible to the rest of the world and they suffer their war scars alone.
