Noting the rise in alarming cases of violence against women amidst progressive legislation and a reformed Sexual Offences Act, the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) is contending that “the missing ingredient appears to be women themselves.”
“What men cannot do, at least directly, is that they cannot empower women, they cannot deliver women’s rights, nor can they guarantee women’s security. But they can remove some of the obstacles to women achieving these goals,” the GHRA said in a release on the occasion of the International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women.
