| dc.description.abstract | On 15th February 2024, the Aruna newspaper reported on a police officer being sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting a woman. In the headline, the term "Kelesima" (කෙලෙසීම) was used to describe the sexual assault, a word that implies impurity or uncleanliness, thereby casting unwarranted aspersions on the survivor. Additionally, the report emphasised that the survivor was a bachelorette, an irrelevant detail that could perpetuate harmful stereotypes. | en_US |
