First Lady Deolatchmee Ramotar has stated that the law enforcement officials are not doing enough to curb gender-based violence. She said, recently, that even though there are the relevant enacted legislations aimed at protecting the rights of women in the home,Kevin Love UCLA Jersey, workplace and in society, the wanton abuse of women continues.Mrs. Ramotar shares a close moment with a female prisoner in New Amsterdam recently.Legislations, she stated, do serve a purpose. “They guide us legally—you have legal rights—so although right now we [women] are getting all the rights, law enforcement authorities—I don’t think are doing enough to stem this violence”.But she also blamed some of the victims who, after reporting incidences of gender- based violence to the police, ‘go soft’ and beg for their perpetrators’ release.“You go to the police and when your husband or partner comes—you beg for them and withdraw the case. This happens all the time and the police will get fed up too”.She urged women to go right through the process after taking the necessary legal steps. In this way, the perpetrators can be dealt with according to the law.During recent times,Nike Rams #99 Aaron Donald Royal Blue Alternate Mens Stitched NFL Elite Jersey, several women have been butchered by their partners, lovers and husbands across Guyana. In some instances,Troy Polamalu College Jersey, the perpetrators commit suicide after the heinous acts.Mrs. Ramotar wishes that Guyana can go back to the days when the community raised the children. “So maybe in days gone by the whole community was a family and they took charge of your children…we would be a better place”She added that the family is the essential key to any stable society and that Guyana has come a far way in women issues. The First Lady recalled the time when Guiana’s women fought against colonialism; women such as Jane Phillips-Gay, Winifred Gaskin and former President Janet Jagan. She stated that the movement started in the 1900s when women were oppressed and experienced great inequality.She also said that there have been other heroines such as, Gail Teixeira,Kyle Lowry Villanova Jersey, Indra Chandarpal, Former First Lady Viola Burnham, and Kowsilla. “We have moved a far way…These women have brought us a far way to prosperity,” she posited.Mrs. Ramotar stated however, that there are still a lot of challenges to face even though more women occupy jobs previously occupied by men. “Women still have a lot of challenges and one of the main challenges is equal rights…Our women are abused—both physically,Uconn Huskies Jerseys, verbally, emotionally and sexually.”Women, she added, have to make sure that they believe in themselves and respect themselves. “They must work with our menfolk to gain respect from them and we must give back respect. When we talk about equality, we should look at partnership—For example, if you and your husband work together….this would eliminate some of the ills of society and we must bring up our children in a healthy environment to give back that love and respect they received.”The First Lady added that the family is the first and foremost key to any stable society. But she remained resolute that women’s struggles in this country continue.She said that not all men are evil or bad men. “There are a lot of liberated men; who help their families  in the home, and who take responsibility.”Mrs. Ramotar gave her husband, the President, as an example. “He still does that. We have grown children who will ask for advice and he is there to give it to them”.“I am proud of my family—even my boys. They are very decent young men and my daughters too…so the struggle continues,” she related.“The men know what triggers them to commit heinous acts,Junior Seau USC Jersey, so if we can work with them, together we can move ourselves and [move] Guyana forward,” she asserted.
