Sri Lanka's minority Tamil people still live in the shadow of defeat in the civil war that tore the country apart until it ended 15 years ago .
The civil war killed at least 100,000 on both sides, and left many more missing.
Some parents have given up hope of ever learning the fate of the thousands of missing children.
Survivors feel that members of the rising generation have grown too fearful and apathetic toward speaking up for their rights.
Civil activists are now working to unify them and strengthen their bargaining position ahead of the presidential election later this year .
In the villages of Mullaitivu district, where the final battle between government forces and the Tamil Tigers unfolded, many men are addicted to narcotics and alcohol, forcing women to be the family’s main breadwinners.
School dropouts soar in the villages, as boys find easy money through selling narcotics, illegal tree-felling and the mining of river sand.
