The Lady Jaguars, Guyana’s National Senior Women’s team has written First Lady Arya Alli and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., highlighting the one-sided and unequal allocation of resources by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) to the programme.
“We are writing to express our frustrations around the unfair and inequitable distribution of resources and support provided to the female participants in comparison to our male counterparts,” the letter stated.
“We feel the impact of years of systemic bias. We have been relegated to second-class citizens because of our gender even though our records and accomplishments are amongst the best across the Caribbean region,” the letter added.
