Four teens rescued from sexual exploitation in interior

Apr 22, 2013 News

Four teenagers were rescued from the vicious jaws of sexual slavery thanks to the Guyana Women Miners’ Organization (GWMO) following an altercation with the perpetrators yesterday.
The girls, aged 14, 15, 17, and 18 years old were being held in a shop, popularly called ‘Kaimoo’ by porkknockers in Tiger Creek, Puruni, Region Seven.
Dirty, sweaty, tired and crying, the teens spent last night on a bench in the Bartica Police Station as if they were the wrongdoers, said Simona Broomes, President of GWMO.
According to Broomes, the representative of the Human Service Ministry in Bartica was unable to provide any assistance immediately to the young girls. She is distraught that not even a hotel room with security was offered.
Broomes said that rescuing the girls was not an easy task and members of the GWMO had to put up a fight. Without police security, members of GWMO had to depend on their lone personal security to help fight off the perpetrators who followed them to Itaballi.
Broomes said that she was shocked to see that the Mines Officer in the area and the perpetrators are friends. She said that at the Mines Officer’s dwelling place, a physical altercation occurred.
More information on this matter to be made available in Tuesday’s edition.
