The objective for the formation of this net-work was to avert the adverse consequences such as increase in poverty and destruction of country's resources which would have resulted with the implementation of the plan "Re-Gaining of Sri Lanka " purported to have been put into operation for the development of the country. This network "Women's Action for Social Justice " was formed with the main intention of contributing to an Alternative Development Activity favorable for the masses to exert impacts on the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the government which formulated this adverse plan.

The photo shows the discussion the members of the network had with Peter Harold the Sri Lanka Resident Representative of the World Bank against the "Re-gaining of Sri Lanka" plan.
