Stop attacking our women

Aug 18, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

This week, I have been disturbed by the rise in disrespectful and baseless accusations against Guyanese women, notably from a popular social media commentator. These attacks, targeting women like the First Lady, HE Arya Ali, and a skilled pilot who serves with honour and integrity, are not only unfounded but also damaging.

Both of these women have demonstrated remarkable strength and commitment to their roles. The First Lady has championed numerous impactful initiatives, including projects that uplift our society and contribute to the nation’s development. The pilot, a member of the discipline force, exemplifies the values of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

It’s disheartening to witness how easily misinformation can spread and harm the reputations of those who have dedicated their lives to serving others. Social media, while a powerful tool for connection and communication, can also become a platform for spreading falsehoods that cause significant emotional and professional damage.

What is often overlooked is how these baseless attacks can strain personal relationships. When false accusations are made, they can create doubt, tension, and stress in the lives of those targeted. Friends, family, and colleagues may find themselves caught in the crossfire, leading to unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings. The emotional toll of defending oneself against lies can be overwhelming, and the ripple effects can reach far beyond the individuals directly involved.

We must be mindful of the impact our words can have. Instead of using platforms to tear others down, we should uplift and support those who work tirelessly to make a difference in our society. It’s crucial to stand against any form of bullying or defamation, especially when it targets individuals who have done nothing but serve our country with honour.

Sincerely, 

Nalinie Singh
