More than two dozen councillors from several indigenous villages in the Rupununi were recently able to benefit from a sensitisation workshop on legal and social issues.
This is according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples Affairs, which said that the workshop was hosted in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Protection. It focused on Sexual Abuse and the Sexual Offences Act, Domestic Violence Act, Human Trafficking and the Counter Trafficking in Persons Act and other labour related issues.
