Research...  
 

NCVC conducts research in issues relating to victims of crimes, and other legal issues arising out of human rights violation. We have conducted number of researches in history. Recent two researches were conducted during last year, one on victims of incest in Monaragala, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa District to find out the causes and present status of such victims. The NCVC has conducted another research on victims of Sexual and Gender Based Violence among IDP communities in Vavuniya and Baticaloa Districts.
 


  Research on Incest:

The NCVC conducted this research in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Services & Social Welfare. The research has been carried out in Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Monaragala districts to find out incidences of incest. These incidents are being looked down upon by the society;   but unfortunately most of these incidences are on the rise due to loop holes in the law and changes in our cultural values. In Sri Lanka according to data gathered for the study, the rate of incest is high in Anuradhapuraya, Polonnaruwa and Monaragala districts.



  Research on Victims SGBV:

This research was conducted with the support of UNHCR in order to identify the incidents of SGBV happening in IDP welfare centres. The Gender based violence is a universal issue. Statistically one out of three women has been affected physically or psychologically in the world and sometimes subjects to death too.  Normally 50% women are facing various kinds of violence inside their homes or family in South Asian countries.  People affected in these cases cannot reach their full potentiality to participate in their social life and society is denied through acts of violence perpetrated against them and disrupt their lives. The research is concerned about the underlying root causes and the measures to be taken for remedy.
