Lucille Abeykoon

Lucille works at Human Rights Office in Kandy, Sri Lanka. She advocates on behalf of the victims of torture, rape and other human rights violations in Sri Lanka, which includes seeking to hold perpetrators accountable for their crimes through a just judicial system. Lucille also assists in the rehabilitation of prisoners and their families, as well as for the families of people who have ‘disappeared’. Her work includes assisting in legal matters for the victims who are struggling to attain justice, as well as accompanying victims to courts. Lucile hopes that training with the Diplomacy Training Program will augment her knowledge and experience, and help her to be more effective in her present work.
