"කෙළෙසීම්", "දූෂණය" ද? "ලිංගික අපයෝජනය" ද?
Abstract
On 16 August 2024, Aruna reported two sexual assault incidents using the terms "කෙළෙසීම" (keleseema) and "දූෂණය" (dooshanaya), which imply the victims are "polluted." Referring to survivors as dirty or impure in the media increases social stigma. The media is therefore encouraged to use "ලිංගික අපයයෝජනය" and avoid derogatory language.
