Survey shows Guyanese generally accept Domestic Violence

As local human rights groups continue to advocate for equality amongst the genders, a recent international survey has shown that acceptance of domestic violence in Guyana is relatively high.
The Americas Barometer survey has been conducting interviews with thousands of Guyanese over the past few years with focus on democratic values and behaviours in the Americas.

Margaret Kertzious of the Guyana Help and Shelter

During a revelation of the findings late last week, Dr. Elizabeth Zechmeister of the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) said the survey showed domestic violence is relatively accepted in Guyana.
During interviews carried out between 2006 and 2014, respondents were asked whether they would or would not approve of a man hitting his wife if she had been unfaithful. They were also asked whether they would not approve but understand the abuse.
According to the survey, 10.2% of respondents approved while 25.4% of respondents did not approve of the abuse but understood. Further, 64.4% of respondents neither approved nor understood the abuse.
Zechmeister said the responses indicated a relatively high level of acceptance, especially when compared to other countries in the Americas. The data showed that Guyana was ranked third with 35.6% in interviewed countries on the acceptance of domestic violence. Ranked just above Guyana was El Salvador at 42.1% while Guatemala was ranked highest at 58%.
Margaret Kertzious, Coordinator of the Guyana Help and Shelter said the results of the survey were not surprising as domestic violence is perceived to be a normal activity in the Guyanese culture. She noted that persons were constantly seen fighting, even on the streets, and she deemed the society an abusive one. She said too that persons who lived overseas and who interacted with her would constantly ponder why abuse was so accepted in Guyana.
Further, she said, domestic violence was so pervasive that most Guyanese children were already aware or had experienced it in their lives.

Kertzious said that the Help and Shelter would conduct exercises in schools and, after explaining what domestic violence was, children would indicate their experiences with abuse.
“We work in the schools and this is what we’re seeing; for the children, it’s a normal thing in their homes,” Kertzious said.
Although Kertzious said the findings were not surprising, she emphasised that something needed to be done to address the issue of domestic violence. She noted that families needed to be tackled to better deal with the abuse.
She said too that domestic violence needed to be seen as wrong, regardless of the actions of women.
She said that studies had shown that many persons believe women who are unfaithful and are subsequently beaten “deserve the licks”.
“In many societies, women aren’t the victims if they had been unfaithful. It’s the norm in our society that the man can go out and be unfaithful but the woman can’t do the same without being beaten down for it,” she said.
Kertzious explained that Help and Shelter is working towards teaching women to stop the abuse in its tracks when it is first exhibited.
“Young women are now learning to stop the abuse right away but that idea still needs to be infiltrated into other sections of our society. People don’t want to talk about these things but they’re happening,” Kertzious said.
The Americas Barometer survey is conducted by LAPOP in more than 20 countries, including all of North, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
The survey focuses on at least 1,500 voting aged persons in each country each year.
The Americas Barometer survey is carried out every two years, and in 2014 more than 50,000 persons were interviewed.

Take a look from the beginning of this year,this is my own view when i get some time i will produce some stats for this year using the info from GNI,the thread on crime.

Is my buddy Tola still in Guyana? I thought they set up hot lines. How is this approach working? Any positive results? At least if one life can be saved, it's worth it.

Now this is very true.  And I would even take it one step farther.  It is not only accepted, It is expected.  It is woven into the fabric of the culture of our society.  The same is true for many other third world countries.

I think the Guyanese people have a lot of family pride. They do not want discuss their personal problems with other people. They prefer to keep it within themselves even if it means tragedy.  Bibi, you are correct to say " It is woven into the fabric of the culture of our society".

Illiteracy and Poverty are the cause of Domestic violence, for example the Guyana, El Salvador and Guatemala are very poor countries, and that can be said of many other poor nations.

Not sure what they saying.  This is a very complicated matter.  Unfaithful leads to DV and they saying it should not matter because both men and women do it.  In the great US of A and civilized Europe, crime of passion is a mitigating factor in crime and punishment in DV cases.

DV is wrong, but they should focus first on factors such as economics, alcoholism, neglect, etc and tackle promiscuity and lifestyle separately. This has lots of cultural and emotional drivers.

Ask Chief what happen to "unfaithfuls" in Wahabistan!!!

KP, you raise an important point. But then the Simpson's come to mind.

Domestic violence is often stigmatised as being a problem amongst poor, working-class people and illiterates. Intersectional studies show that this is not true.

Bringing awareness in the temples, mosques, mandirs, schools, The University and other interest groups can help fight domestic violence.

Why in the world dont you fellows edit your quotes? Who the hell care to trudge through endless reprints of the original post over and over?

Not necessarily, kp. Poor and rich alike engage in domestic violence. Take oil rich Saudi Arabia. According to da bai Wikipedia, "There is a deep cultural belief in Saudi Arabia that it is socially acceptable to hit a woman to discipline a spouse."

Wikipedia seh dis too: "Domestic abuse in Saudi Arabia started to receive public attention in 2004 after a popular television presenter, Rania al-Baz, was severely beaten by her husband, and photographs of her bruised and swollen face were published in the press. According to Al-Baz, her husband beat her, intending to kill her, after she answered the phone without his permission. Violence against women and children in the home was traditionally not seen as a criminal matter in Saudi Arabia until 2013."

So she does still answer the fone before ask the banna permission or she want another one?
