Since it has been reported that women and children are mostly employed in begging, steps will be done to address this issue, according to state minister Geetha Kumarasinghe.
In order to address this issue, the state minister added that she will have an initial discussion with pertinent organisations such as the police, local government, and the National Child Protection Authority, according to a report from the Parliamentary Communications Department.
It was brought up at a recent meeting of the Ministerial Consultative Committee on Women, Children Affairs, and Social Empowerment, which was presided over by state ministers Geetha Kumarasinghe and Anupa Pasqual.
