Sri Lanka has a culture of tolerating violence against women with many incidents growing unreported, an activist has said, citing results of a national survey.

A survey done by the Department of Census and Statistics showed that 24.9 percent of women in Sri Lanka had experienced physical or sexual violence by a partner or non-partner.
 
Two in every five women (39.8 percent) have suffered physical, sexual, emotional, and/or economic violence and/or controlling behaviours by a partner.
