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.
Not scientific but I have heard Islander women claim that Guyanese men are very controlling and that Guyanese women have a passive aggressive attitude that can trigger. They claim that Island women will say "no" when they "no", whereas a Guyanese women saying "no" might mean "try harder".
I do agree that it seems more serious because even in NYC it appears as if Guyanese (both races) seem over represented among incidents of fatal domestic abuse.
