As a result of the continuing oppression of the Eelam Tamil people by the Sri Lankan government – even after peace has officially been achieved – many Tamils have been forced to emigrate abroad, where they now live as foreigners. As a result of the oppression and attempts to erase the Tamil identity in Sri Lanka in the form of structural genocide, more and more growing Tamils of the diaspora are coming together abroad to fight for their rights and identity.
Among others, the Tamil Women’s Association was founded in Germany by refugee Eelam Tamil women, which has been fighting against the oppressions, abuses and other atrocities since 1950. Above all, women who are carrying children are deliberately murdered and persecuted in order to destroy the existence of people and a whole nation. This targeting is evident in the actions of the Sri Lankan terrorist state. Accordingly, the Tamil Women’s Association in Germany supports training courses in Sri Lanka. Enlightenments have been carried out with development and regeneration companies and corresponding help has been provided. In addition, such women and members of the association can be named who have themselves made their way to Sri-Lanka to personally take part in the training and seminars.
The year 2009, in which the genocide against Tamils has reached its peak so far, is characterised by targeted persecutions, murders, oppression and rapes. These killings and abuses continue to this day. All the abuses of women and children are still present today in the alleged holiday paradise of “Sri Lanka”. After the genocide of Eelam Tamils, more than 90,000 Tamil women lost their husbands and lead widowed lives with mostly severe psychological impairments. Many of the survivors of the genocide still do not know what happened to their family members and whether they are even alive. Sri Lanka has the highest number of disappearances in the world. The Tamil Women’s Association in Germany provides assistance for all such victims of the war. Furthermore, work opportunities in, for example, agriculture and animal husbandry, textile industries, house construction and kiosks have been organised and realised. With these job opportunities, war-affected people find a certain stability in life and can also employ other people. In addition, the Women’s Association maintains the possibility for those who have lost their parents due to the genocide to receive education, attend universities and acquire scholarships. The association provides school children with the necessary school equipment and all that is needed to ensure a basic education.
