HIV Stigma In The Caribbean!

HIV Stigma In The Caribbean!

GUYANA, like most or all Caribbean countries have endemic prejudices against those who are the HIV positive, who may be Homosexual. They associate HIV with Gayness/Homosexuality, and assume broadly that anyone who is HIV positive may be Gay/Homosexual, and lives a promiscuous life or lifestyle.

They also assume that you can only get HIV if you are Gay/Homosexual, and that you are paying the price for your sins, according to their interpretation of the Christian Bible. Which is ludicrous to say the least, and overtly self-righteous of them too.

Blackmailing People With HIV Is Quite Common:

Within the Caribbean region, and Guyana, to publicly call someone a Faggot, Anti-man, Homo, Batty Boy/Batty Man, and a Walking Serial Killer is quite common. This is done by every age group and gender. It is another way for people to castigate you as sick, toxic, degenerate, or cancerous. It is a way most seem to feel to publicly humiliate someone they do not like, distrust, or hate. So by blackmailing them by any means necessary, they get their own warped and twisted sense of satisfaction.

The Family Unit Is Guilty Too:

In most Caribbean families, this behavior is very evident. Any HIV positive individual will not necessarily find solace, security, or comfort within his/her family. Because this is the place where it starts first, and where the hurt is felt the most.

Support Groups For HIV Positive People:

This type of support may be absent completely within the Caribbean, or very limited. And if some sort or type of support is available, it has to be under cover mostly. Because if the community knows that some building houses, or provides HIV positive or Homosexual individuals this type of support. It allows those who hate these people to locate them easily, verbally and physically abuse them, and possibly burn down that or those facilities, because they feel it embarrasses the community at large.

Secondly, most HIV positive individuals, or even Homosexuals within the Caribbean, would not want to be associated so openly with this facility, For fear of all, or most of the above cited happening to them.

SOLUTIONS:

HIV and AIDS is a social pandemic, a global pandemic, and it does not discriminate between sex, gender, or sexual orientation/preferences either. The states MUST ensure that Legislation is in place or enacted, to protect the Civil/Human Rights of all those who are infected with HIV/AIDS.

Housing MUST also be allotted, or provided for people with HIV, as a safe place to live, maintain their health, feel secure by being with those who are also infected with this disease, and MUST be protected from scrupulous Land Owners/Renters, who exploit HIV positive individuals. Because they are too weak, ignorant, helpless, or fearful for their lives, to represent or defend themselves.

And anyone who is HIV infected MUST be given treatment at any hospital or medical facility, (private or state run). MUST be allowed admittance like any other patient to the wards therein, and given equal treatment, medicines (whenever available), to treat HIV.

And stringent efforts MUST be made by the state to ensure that the GENERIC HIV protease inhibitors, and their associates are available to all HIV positive people throughout the entire country/states.

FREE OF COST TOO!

Harassment Of Homosexuals In Guyana!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/113077.html

December 03-2010:

Harassment Of Homosexuals In Guyana!

This problem has been with us for as long as I can recall. Guyanese generally feel that all homosexuals are an embarrassment to their relatives/families, and must be verbally abused whenever and wherever possible.

Within their twisted minds/mentality, verbal abuse to open or explicit Homosexuals/Gay men (mostly), is the accepted thing to do. And this is the perceived manner that most Guyanese go about treating Homosexuals (alias Anti-men).

Incidentally, and anti-man is someone who is against all men. And Homosexuals are certainly not against all men. Most are attracted to some men, but not all men would qualify for a Gay or Homosexual male's attraction or appeal.

Just for the record!

Courting With Homosexuals In Guyana.

I also found from my childhood years that a lot of men use their sexuality, good looks, and suave to attract Homosexuals in Guyana. To physically abuse them, rob them of their money, and wealth. And exploit them under the guise of Love and Friendship.

Some Gay/Homosexual men believe that having a (so-called straight acting male in their life), will help protect them from verbal and physical abuse. So they allow themselves to be verbally and physically abused to get this desired protection, respect, and friendship.

Finally, I have also found that most Gay/Homosexual men in Guyana, many of whom are under cover (or Down Low), does not experience most of these overt problems, because they are able to blend in the mainstream of society. By aping the so-called normal behavior, being seen with women or beautiful women, going to clubs and house parties, flirting with women, even though they are not sexually attracted to them.

But they feel that they have to play the role for personal protection, for fear of being found to be homosexual, and not attract too much prying into their sexual lives.

Guyanese Demand Two Political Debates Between The Candidates!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

Guyanese Demand Two Political Debates Between The Candidates!

Guyana National Election:

Having public debates are a growing phenomenon in most Democratic and developed countries. Britain only recently followed the USA with their first political debate. The Ivory coast also had it's first political debate yesterday. It is also the view that hitherto, politicians did not have to face their constituents and answer questions in any detail about what they intend to do. So they just gave a peripheral explanation about their intent.

And hoped that their constituents would be convinced enough to vote for them. And the constituents were never able to witness their elected officials respond to questions on transparency and accountability. Or respond to questions about their motives for running for Public Office, issues that the commonweal expect to be honored and respected by all elected officials.

Therefore, in light of the above observations, I strongly recommend that all Guyanese get the opportunity to watch at least two Public Debates between the candidates who intend to, or is running for the Presidency and Prime Ministership of Guyana.

This MUST be conducted in a public venue, with TV and radio broadcasting the proceedings, and monitored by some official who is not politically affiliated to any of the contending parties, and is impartial to this election, or the political candidates contending.

Torture Within The Guyana Defense Force & Other Security Organizations!

Torture Within The Guyana Defense Force & Other Security Organizations!

In reference to an article of concern circulated by http://propagandapress.wordpress.com/

I decided to pen a few concerns about these allegations below. Followed by The Official UN Conventions Against Torture.

Albeit, in light of the above Regulations, it is imperative that all states that are signatories to this convention, ensure that they do not violate any of these conventions within or without their sovereign borders.

And any state found to be violation any of these regulations MUST be brought to account for their actions to the UN Security Council, or The International Court in the Hague.

United Nations Convention Against Torture!

Languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.

The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment is an international human rights instrument, under the review of the United Nations, that aims to prevent torture around the world.

The Convention requires states to take effective measures to prevent torture within their borders, and forbids states to return people to their home country if there is reason to believe they will be tortured.

The text of the Convention was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1984[1] and, following ratification by the 20th state party,[2] it came into force on 26 June 1987.[1] 26 June is now recognized as the International Day in Support of Torture Victims, in honor of the Convention. As of September 2010, the Convention had 147 parties.[1]

Guyanese Prepare Yourselves For The Next National Election!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/112099.html

Guyanese Prepare Yourselves For The Next National Election!

True Democracy cannot be formed or molded via Ethnic, Political Preferences, or Patronage. If we as a people intend to move forward Economically, Socially, and Politically. We MUST ensure that our collective behavior lays the foundation for that reality to materialize right now.

Are We Satisfied With The Status Quo?

This country have been categorized by the international community, as A Narcotic State. That means that Illicit Drugs are being transported, traded, and facilitated within our borders. Even some elements within the political administration have been accused of involvement, and others accused of complicity with this illicit trade.

If we truly want to erase this stigma, and cancer from within our midst, then we must ensure that those whom we choose to be our political representatives are not involved in this trade, were not involved in this trade, and are not complicit in this illicit trade either.

Are We Going To Continue Indulging In Ethnic Preferences In Our Political Representatives?

Or are we going to select those who show on no uncertain terms, that he/she cares for the needs and aspirations of ALL Guyanese?

And does not discriminate between Ethnicity, Religious affiliation, or Political preferences/affiliations?

The Choice Is yours to make Now!

My Response To Mae Haywood's Un-employment Issue:

October 31-2010:

TO: The Editor.

URL: http://wp.me/ptgH-11w

My Response To Mae Haywood's Un-employment Issue:

It is unfortunate that a daughter of Guyana, with outstanding intellectual qualifications is unable to get employment, after graduation over two years from the University Of Guyana.

Miss Mae Haywood is another one of our daughters that the state has FAILED to provide employment for, and also to co-op the much dire needed skills and expertise, that the Republic Of Guyana so desperately need at this time.

Is it politics that has prevented her from gaining employment locally?

Or is it the lack of the preferred Ethnicity that has prevented her from so doing?

Whatever is the reason for this woman, (and one of several Guyanese)
who are overlooked, dis-regarded, and prejudiced against, because they do not fit a certain preferred profile, Must be addressed expeditiously, at all levels of our society!

Sincerely,

Derryck S. Griffith.
