The exclusion of women leaders in the main political parties in Guyana is troubling and discriminatory

Dec 13, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

The three key leaders in the PPP government: president, prime minister and vice president are males. In the PNCR, the leader of the party and opposition, the General Secretary and the Chairman are men.

The WPA and the PNCR are planning on forming a coalition before the 2025 elections and had a high-profile meeting to decide on the way forward. The WPA representatives at that coalition talks were men.

In one of the fastest growing economies in the world the exclusion of women at the helm of politics speaks to a problem of diversity and male dominance in politics. It is troubling, discriminatory and unacceptable. Women outnumber men in Guyana and are perhaps more qualified than their male counterparts in general.

I am calling on women in Guyana to demand their place in political leadership. I believe that the era of a male-dominated world, especially in politics, is a thing of the past and has no place in equal and progressive societies. I also condemn the main political parties in Guyana for the exclusion of women in top leadership positions. I am calling on the women in the top positions of the US Embassy and British High Commission to lend their voices to this call.

Sincerely,

Norman Browne
