A number of Guyanese organisations are calling on Governments and civil societies of Caricom to recognize the scale of the humanitarian crisis currently experienced by the people of Venezuela.
A release from the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) on behalf of the groups said that collaboration by relevant civic, business and Government agencies might begin by ensuring registration of Venezuelan refugees arriving at Caricom’s borders, thereby both providing them with legal protection and discouraging illegal entry through porous borders and beaches.
The GHRA listed the subscribers to the release as the Anglican Diocese of Guyana, Rt. Rev Bishop Francis Alleyne RC Bishop of Guyana, BENAB – (Youth), Church Women United, East Coast Clean-Up Committees, Guyana Society for the Blind (GSB), Guyana Environ-ment Initiative (GEI), Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA), Guyanese Organization of Indigenous peoples (GOIP), Jesuits in Guyana, Policy Forum Guyana, Red Thread, Rights of Children (ROC), Trans-parency Institute Guyana Inc and Ursuline Sisters in Guyana.
