Vikalpani Women’s Federation is an NGO that protects environmental and human health from pesticides; empowers rural women who have the greatest risk of exposure to these environmental hazards; and promotes ecological agriculture based on biodiversity to ensure food security and food sovereignty. In 2012, the organisation began to collect information regarding the health of the communities that suffer from pesticide poisoning. Through education and advocacy, the organisation aims to ban highly toxic pesticides from Sri Lanka altogether.
