Upholding human dignity and promoting justice through awareness, voice, and constructive engagement with society. We stand in solidarity with the vulnerable to address the root causes of poverty and exclusion.
Advocacy is a core part of Caritas Sri Lanka's mission. Through advocacy, we raise awareness, give a voice to vulnerable communities, and engage constructively with society to address the root causes of poverty, inequality, and exclusion.
Our advocacy work is guided by Catholic Social Teaching, national realities, and the lived experiences of the communities we serve.
We focus on critical areas that impact the lives and dignity of vulnerable communities across Sri Lanka.
Promoting fairness, equality, and respect for the inherent dignity of every person, especially those who are marginalised or excluded.
Advocating for responsible stewardship of the environment and action on climate change, protecting communities most affected by environmental degradation.
Supporting efforts that foster dialogue, healing, and social cohesion across ethnic, religious, and cultural divides.
Standing with children, women, migrant workers, persons with disabilities, and other at-risk groups to promote their rights and well-being.
We use a range of strategic methods to ensure the voices of vulnerable communities are heard and respected.
Educating the public and stakeholders about critical social issues and the needs of the vulnerable.
Engaging with decision-makers to shape policies and laws that uphold justice and human rights.
Bringing communities together to speak out on issues that affect their lives and dignity.
Supporting legal frameworks and actions that protect the rights of the marginalized.
