The hypocrisy of some advocacy groups

Dear Editor,
The hypocrisy of some women’s right organization is just inexplicable. There is a certain domestic abuse advocacy group called the Caribbean American Domestic Violence Awareness (CADVA) with members such as Anand Budram, Dianne Madray and Sukree Boodram who all and sundry would want to support since their mission is to provide a safe environment for individuals combat domestic violence. Noble objective indeed!

No human being will have any problem with that since they are supposed to fight a plague called domestic violence in the Caribbean especially Guyana. What really bothers me is how these PPP satellites can choose to press some abusers and cut others much slack.

Unfortunately the issue of domestic violence does not give us the latitude to pick and choose. This is not politics; this is life and death for the victims.
In March 2013, when member of the AFC Charandass Persaud made disparaging remarks about a certain female doctor, Ms. Diane Madray, a CADVA member on her Facebook page claimed that she is “outraged and … certainly hope that the AFC executives apologise… as it is an attack on all women”.

This story came to light after everyone were silence on the Benn Jr. release, even women and women's groups. Go figure!
