Over the last few months sexual abuse has been on the rise in Guyana and the government's focus on this issue is almost non-existent. This makes all the more imperative that steps must betaken to prevent sexual predators from continuing to victimize the young and the vulnerable. So we again appeal to you and you and you to help us do this by signing this petition, sharing it as widely as possible and encouraging friends, relatives, acquaintances to do the same.
