Almost 62 percent of Guyanese normalize intimate partner violence (IPV) and agree that physical violence between couples is a private matter which should be handled by the couple themselves or their families, according to a Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) report.
In the May 3, 2022 report which is titled “Socialization matters more than the circumstances in predicting the normalization of intimate partner violence in the America”, Guyana has the highest percentage of agreement with keeping IPV in the private realm of the seven countries in the Americas surveyed.
