Stories of Sri Lankan Women is one of our flagship programs that embodies our beliefs and mission. Through this work, we bring to the forefront stories of girls and women who are inspirational figures from our history (and living history) and who have resisted patriarchal structures in their different ways. Over the next three years, we are gathering as many stories as possible of Sri Lankan women whose lives, work, and experience have shaped and were shaped by our social, political, and cultural contexts. This work intends to create a compendium and publicly accessible archive of Sri Lankan women’s stories across the last 100 years to understand the life cycle of these stories. Through these stories, we hope to peel back the layers of resistance and add depth to understanding struggles in the particular context they took place. In 2021 the first 30 stories will be released supported by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Sri Lanka and the Maldives
