Tens of thousands of young women from the rural areas are employed in a free trade zone in Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital.

With support from the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the Government has established a model hostel and runs training programmes including sex education lectures. (4 min., 16 sec .)
