#MeToo phenomenon finally reaches Guyana

Judging from a news article published in the Stabroek News of Monday, November 26th, 2018 on the inquiry ordered by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) of allegations of sexual harassment leveled against members of the Guyana Football Referees Council (GFRC) it would appear that the #MeToo Movement has finally found some daylight in Guyana.

The article stated that the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) has recommended that the Head of Referees Department, Stanley Lancaster and Referees Assessor Roy McArthur be removed from their current portfolios following its assessment of interviews conducted with aggrieved female members of the referees’ fraternity.

The final report is in the hands of the GFF and the whole of Guyana and most importantly the game’s stakeholders are now looking to the governing body to act swiftly on the report and give justice where it is due.
