Discriminations of Sri Lanka. By: Paul Aldric Hernandez.

What Is discrimination?.

According to Google: Discrimination: noun: discrimination; plural noun: discriminations -the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex..

Using this we now go explore Sri Lanka’s discriminations..

Discrimination about age.

Discrimination about Age. There is little to no information about Age discrimination in Sri Lanka, but there is some interesting research i have found very close to it. I would like to call it Generation discrimination. Usually it's when older people discriminate younger people because the older people tend to think they are better than them and vice versa for the younger ones, and this happens in every country..

OVERVIEW While there is no codified law relating to age discrimination in Sri Lanka, certain laws exist which provide for the protection of elders and provide certain statutory benefits irrespective of age. WHO'S COVERED? The Protection of the Rights of Elders Act No.9 of 2000 (as amended) (the "Act"), which established the National Council for Elders and National Secretariat (the "Council") for Elders provides for the promotion and protection of the rights and welfare of elders. The Act defines "elders" as any person who has passed the age of 60 years. The Council is inter alia responsible for ensuring the adoption of, and compliance with, the relevant international declarations and conventions relating to elders, by the Government of Sri Lanka. As aforementioned, there are certain laws relating to employment which also contain protection and statutory benefits, irrespective of age. For instance, employees are entitled to Employee Trust Fund and Employee Provident Fund payments and gratuity, irrespective of the age at which they join employment. Sri Lanka is also a signatory the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, which prohibits discrimination of any kind. WHAT ENFORCEMENT/REMEDIES EXIST? Enforcement does not arise due to the fact that there are no codified laws relating to age discrimination. HOW COMMON ARE CLAIMS We are unaware of claims made on age discrimination in Sri Lanka..
