@savi_thri8 @HariniWeerasin2 Thank you for your question. In my opinion the existence of civil society organisations provide a platform where individuals dedicated towards the fulfilment of a common cause are able to engage with state institutions in policy and decision making .eg: The Human Rights Watch

@GPPACSA Thank you @HariniWeerasin2 for your insights. What is the the significance of civil society organizations in ensuring engagement of civilians with civic spaces already exisiting in Sri Lanka?

@GPPACSA Civic space is more viable in direct democracies like Switzerland, as the people have more authority than having an elected representative. #gppacsa #gppacsayouth #shrinkingcivicspace

@PavithraJayawar @MallikaJoseph @PavithraJayawar Excellent

@MallikaJoseph A series of reasons I guess, amoung which, government's illegitimate repressive measurements is one. Also, the discourse on prioritising the economic recovery over political freedom is becoming popular. Aragalaya is in a different stage now.

Good overview. However, the government making people choose between civic space and political agenda is not new. Today it is economic recovery. Earlier it was the reconciliation and devolution. Before that the war. But what sets aragalaya apart?
