ILPPWA Report 2020 from Centre for
Environmental Justice, Sri Lanka
Lead Safe Week
Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ) is a national level environmental organization
working for the promotion of Environmental Good Governance and Environmental Justice.
We engage in our activities through environmental litigation, scientific research and policy
advocacy. CEJ is a
member of IPEN and
performed a great role in
limiting the lead levels in
paints through a court
case affective from
January 1, 2013. Since
then we have been
promoting lead safe
paints and lead free
products.
Centre for environmental
justice launched a social
media campaign to
commemorate lead
poisoning prevention
week of action 2020. Due
to Covid 19 and social
distancing practices,
other planned activities
were cancelled. Last
year, CEJ host an Art
competition for school
children under the theme
of “Lead Poisoning
prevention is a choice”.
Those paintings were
used for this year’s social
media campaign.
More social media posts were shared during the week
