Again, I am an outsider, born in the U.S Virgin Islands and married to a Guyanese (wife). I have been to Guyana 7 times now, and as I have done with other places I have visited, I make observations and I discuss them (with civility) with people of that place or country, as I love dialog.

Now, I keep an eye on news out of Guyana and while I know much has been made about the high suicide (per capita) in the country, I don't know if I am seeing things, but it appears Guyana has a very high incidence of not just domestic violence, but deadly domestic violence. Is this truly the case or am I really just seeing things. Is there a culture of this type of violence in the country?

Domestic violence, yes, can be found all up and down the Caribbean, UNFORTUNATELY and SADLY, but for some reason, it seems like a higher proportion of it ends in fatality or gross violence in Guyana. Is there countering measures in place to combat this? 

Talk to me.

You sound like VM. 

Who? Clue me in, please. I have NO idea who that is.
