About us
Jaffna Social Action Center
A Sri Lankan non-governmental organisation providing services throughout the Jaffna Peninsula and the Northern and Eastern provinces with projects currently active in Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mannar, Vavuniya, Mullaitivu, Trincomalee and Batticaloa districts.
Founded in 2003, We are a special protection NGO that works with the most vulnerable members of society: former IDPs (returnees), women headed families and children in areas of poverty.
Special event
16 Days of Activism against gender based violence
JSAC believes in order to prevent and ultimately end gender based violence, action and investments must be made to educate and engage communities, especially men, youth, and government actors. This proves as a challenge as we continue to live in a society with a patriarchal hierarchy where many believe harmful gender norms and stereotypes that perpetuate violence against women. Thus, JSAC is an NGO mainly working for women and children, providing not only those protection but also opportunities and awareness for all involved parties.
JSAC annually participates in UNiTE’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence campaign. In 2023, from November 25th to December 10th, we organized multiple initiatives as a coordinated effort to provide awareness to end gender based violence. Some of these initiatives include awareness programs and walks, media campaigns, open forums and training.

Collaborating to make an impact.
The world demands and anticipates for us to have simplicity in our lives, a prayerful spirit, and provide charity toward all, especially the unfortunate and the poor.
When someone repeats a behaviour they know they shouldn't in your home, they truly have a choice—or perhaps what I mean is, did they really have a chance?
