Child marriage is the formal/informal marriage where at least one of marrying couple is underage (below 18). It is against both International and Sri Lankan laws, and violates the most basic rights of the child.

As the world becomes smaller with faster modes of travel, it becomes a vaster playground for ‘child sex tourists’; both foreign and local child abusers who pose as tourists and travel specially to abuse children in vulnerable regions.

Children are taken away from their safe spaces; transferred, recruited, or transported across city/state or country borders, then harbored or received. They undergo various forms of exploitation and abuse, including sexual exploitation and abuse.

Children all over the world continue to become victims of exploitation, which is then used to produce child sexual abuse material (CSAM) which may include both online and offline photos, videos, live streams and more.
