| dc.description.abstract | On 26 September 2024, Dinamina and Aruna newspapers reported two sexual assault incidents using the term "දූෂණය" (dooshanaya) in both headlines and news content, which implies that victims are "polluted". Referring to survivors as dirty or impure in the media increases social stigma. Media is encouraged to use appropriate terms such as "ලිංගික අපයයෝජනය" and to avoid derogatory language. | |
