Heartbreak in Guyana
DEAR EDITOR,
We are losing lives, losing dignity and losing our minds. Gabriella and Mariella, innocent children, burnt to death; Carolina, a mother, was engulfed in flames with her children. Guyana seems unmoved.
It has to be now, a call to everyone; please do something. The problems:
1. Lack of protection: None or not enough safe homes with funds, food, resources for families
in violence.
2. Lack of counseling services
3. Lack of early warning signs monitoring
4. Lack of funding
5. Lack of people to help
6. Lack of Policy/advocacy/education
7. Lack of long-term programmes for families
