Sometimes we got to do what we got to do, sometimes you don’t want to go out there and have sex for money but because of your situation… and that is why I don’t discriminate… because I know I was there and I had a reason why I was there.”

If at any time I would prostitue myself it would have to be my life and limb seriously indanger. There are other things these women can do, wash clothes, clean homes, sell 2 sweetie on the streets, they took the easy way out and have endangered themselves, their children, their clients and the larger society.. Besides, she thinks it’s ok to do something illegal just to get by, maybe she should have turned to being a thief.

Edwards said she was also open to guidance from persons in taking her group in the right direction, as she was still new to being a director, and while she had many ideas she needed assistance to execute them.

If I would help, it’s to train these women to do ANYTHING else other than prostitution. It doesn’t take much, sewing, culinary skills, computer skills for the more nimble of mind…that’s where you should be headed and for the sake of humanity, change the name of that organization!!!

A well-said statement brother, I agree with you.

I understand and comprehend your comment very well. Your thoughts were clear and effective, do not pay any mind to optimistic.

Optimistic, is very callous if you don’t know by now. Don’t worry, I still think that you have some decencies in you though.

I must pat you on the back for your keen eagle eyes. Optimistic is the opposite of his name by and large.

For the first time I agree with you 100 percent. It is not okay to turn to prostitution. Give her some credit for her willingness to make a positive difference in the lives of women [not the okay to be a prostitute part].

These women do not know their worth, and they are lost. They just need the support, had the government and men in Guyana done their parts, then these women would be admonishing their children in the right and proper way.

They would be doing some other occupation than prostituting their bodies. The government is too slack with the irresponsible men in Guyana. It is about time they force them to be A-MAN and take up their own mantles.

This is one of the reasons that I CRY SHAME ON MEN IN GUYANA AND THE GOVERNMENT.

There are other things to do than prostituting one self for some dirty dollars. It is better to clean someone’s restroom than prostituting your body.

I understand the pressure. Hence, I will not point my finger in people’s face who are fighting for survival.

Later

I cry shame at them for their inability to provide proper training and job placement for these women.

Finally, where are the men? Men in Guyana needs to be more responsible, you took the woman and got her pregnant, then take care of your responsibility as a man.

I also cry shame at these men who run away from their responsibilities.

I never knew prostitution is legal in Guyana. I MUST SAY THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT TO PROSTITUTE YOUR BODY. IT IS WRONG AND SINFUL. HOWEVER, I WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE OR TEAR DOWN A WOMAN WHO HAS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO DO IT FOR HER OWN SURVIVAL AND THE SURVIVAL OF H ER CHILDREN. I KNOW THESE WOMEN ARE HUMAN BEINGS AS WELL.

SHAME ON THE GOVERNMENT OF GUYANA AND THE MEN.

LET THEM SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN, WHETHER THEY ARE STILL WITH THE MOTHER OR NOT. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD CREATE A LAW FOR MEN TO GIVE CHILD SUPPORT TO EACH CHILD THEY BRING INTO THIS WORLD OR ELSE THEY WOULD BE JAILED.
I bare your pains and passion.
Churches should come together and support these women, counsel them, and minister unto their troubled hearts. Churches are not allowed to discriminate against these women, and it is not Christlike. Mary [not His mother] was once there but she got delivered and became one of the most faithful women’s followers for Jesus.

I offer you ladies my prayers, and support in becoming a better person.

I am surrounded by Einsteins… Sigh!… I give up…

Get with the rest of the world son, those periods are very distracting and quite plainly annoying but I guess that you feel that you are putting your ‘mark’ on the world huh? You are probably feeling that you are being “Artistic” clever and refreshingly different don’t you?

NEWSFLASH!!! You are being special… yea short-bus special :)

You guys are so caught up in this smoke screen that seeks to legalize and normalize and put a stamp of approval on this most debasing albeit oldest form of shameful professions. Thank this Florence-lady-of-the-nightingale for her humanitarian action but do not condone her trying to get these poor unfortunate women, “…to be true to themselves…” as she puts it.

I can understand counseling them and trying to get them out of the despicable situation that they are in not to hold their hand and sing Kumbiya! I can understand patching them up and telling them that they were better that that. That they need not stoop so low. That they needed to pull themselves out of the gutter and have some self respect, that they needed to do something constructive with their lives.

What is all this stupidness about being true to themselves eh? What is that??? Being true to themselves means that they were born to be prostitutes??? That they were born to sell the bodies that have been entrusted to them to be ravished by lascivious men, to the extent that they need to be true to themselves? What self deceptive bile is that?
