I don't know why most Sri Lankan men are frustrated in sex, older a person gets they are more frustrated (this includes all professionals). Cyber crime division should consist of people who have travelled the world and learned from advance cyber crime systems.
And politicans should not influence the police crime investigations.

Every human has feelings, controlling your feelings is the skill or being a better human.

Well said and well done Chethana!

When I'm watching this programme its remembering a suicided child's news, one year ago. His parents believing as he was suicided due to addicted to video games but after checking the child's Facebook profile his father found that there was a sexual harassment went against to that child. It was only one story but there are lot of cases like this in our country which still not solved fairly. Laws and justice should never be broken because of culture. I really appreciate this program. These things should be discussed openly in our country.

Chethana, t hank you for sharing your experience for everyone to hear. People like you give hope to this country & empowerment to other women..💚 Aritha, you are doing a wonderful job too. These may seem like small things but I’d like to believe that one day all these small steps would help create change in our country

[nishanthipeiris]

I am so proud of young ladies like you. May you go from strength to strength.

[christinefernando]

Thank you so much for this video. Honestly I didn't care about those cybercrimes, may be because I'm not that active on social media but now I know how deep, and dangerous they are. Grateful for your story and for your advices.

[preethikahewapathirana]

Great program ...❤️❤️❤️ yes...we deal with fake people ...

[amnarahmy]

thank you for standing up for all women, and for the rest of the women who harrass their own gender- karma will take care of you. thank you for being an inspiration to all of us, chethana- I myself am a law student currently, watching you speak so wisely about how our legal system lacks in this field is the sad reality and is a major drawback- let's hope for change in the future 💗

[Amzlog]

I have no words to express my feelings after watching this video ! Thank you for sharing this !

[NadeeshaniMulleriyawa]

Great discussion. Thank you for sharing this.

[kumariwijedasa]

Great and so inspiring interview Chethana!!!! 💖💖💖💖I am so proud of you. You are my favourite social media influencer 💞💞💞💞. As I feel we must legalise death penalty for people who are harassing women mentally, physically and verbally 💪💪💪. Actually I have seen there are private companies and offices indirectly divert and convert many young women into prostitution. SO DEAR FOLKS BE AWARE THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN THIS SO CALLED DARMADVIPAYA. Please kindly investigate on these matter.
