Director of Children’s Services and Head of the Childcare and Protection Agency (CPA), Ann Greene has called for laws to be instituted against bullying to protect LGBTQ+ youth, according to a release from the Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD).
At a reception on Thursday at the British High Commissioner’s residence to observe Spirit Day, an annual day to raise awareness of anti-LGBTQ+ bullying in schools, the release said that Greene stated that LGBTQ+ people in Guyana are oppressed and marginalized because of their sexual orientation and gender identity, and suffer discrimination in asserting their civil rights.
