Revolutionary Existence for Human Development (RED)

Revolutionary Existence for Human Development (RED) was formed in 2018 by Chandra Deveranarayana who aimed to work against all kinds of repression, oppression, exploitation and sexual harassment of women workers, especially widows, single mothers and migrant women workers. During the peak of COVID-19 in Sri Lanka, RED provided food relief and legal aid to workers who had become destitute having lost their jobs due to the pandemic. RED is a membership organisation now consisting of around 200 members and is currently focused on lobbying for a social security system for private sector workers in the country.
