It is not only domestic violence between spouses, but rather tension between afro Guyanese and Indian Guyanese people. There is a lot of racial/political issues between the two groups of Guyanese people. “Indian Guyanese women are assaulted, robbed and raped by African Guyanese men, and African Guyanese women play their part in beating and humiliating Indian Guyanese women” (Shah, 2017).

When a women gets married, the man treats her as his own property and disrespects her. "According to the UN body on women’s rights, even though Guyana has a strong legal framework for the protection of women’s rights, its implementation and enforcement arms are weak and susceptible to neglect and bribery, thus Guyana is unable to make cases of abuse disappear" (Watkins, 2018). Women of Guyana tend to essentially "put up" with the domestic abuse for the sake of their children. Most women feel trapped being with a controlling husband because the men work and the women stay home to take care of the children. Women feel powerless because of this.]]> 2018-10-09 02:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/xjessica_paulx/qw0s9z6zcynj/wish/290538485
