Young women are reaching Colombo in search of employment: These women are also not getting a chance in agricultural employment, because last year there was a decline of up to 50 percent in agricultural production in the country, after which the Rajapakse government suddenly in May 2021 Chemical fertilizers were banned from Due to this, a large part of the land for agriculture in the country is lying idle.

Only lucky women get respectable work: Ashila Dandenia further said, ‘The lucky ones out of these women who come for employment, they get work in some factory or construction sites, but the rest of the women are engaged in the business of sexual intercourse. They are taken away by touts and they are exploited by taking advantage of their situation. These people easily take advantage of the helplessness of these unemployed women.
Local policemen also exploit sex workers: These women, who arrived in Colombo in search of employment, are asked for massages in the spa and are exploited after work. After the economic devastation in Sri Lanka, the active sex brokers are constantly trying to target such women. Prostitution is still illegal in Sri Lanka, so brothels are open here in the name of spa centers. Although the local police here are aware of this, but a hefty amount is paid every month for them from brothels. Apart from this, the sex workers working here are forced to spend the night with the police.
