The Chronicle should name the NGOs

Dear Editor,

While there was much to applaud in the Guyana Chronicle’s Thursday, January 28, 2010 editorial ‘Domestic and other abuses sanctioned by wider society,’ the attacks on “many NGOs” that work against domestic and sexual abuse and on one (unnamed) NGO in particular, cannot go unchallenged.

My letter to the Chronicle not having been published, I would be grateful if you would publish this call upon the writer of the editorial to immediately either name the organisations referred to and provide facts in support of the allegations made or unreservedly and prominently withdraw them.

Yours faithfully,
Josephine Whitehead
