Ann Greene speaking at the event

Director of Children’s Services and Head of the Childcare and Protection Agency (CPA), Ann Greene has called for laws to be instituted against bullying to protect LGBTQ+ youth, according to a release from the Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD).

At a reception on Thursday at the British High Commissioner’s residence to observe Spirit Day,  an annual day to raise awareness of anti-LGBTQ+ bullying in schools, the release said that Greene stated that LGBTQ+ people in Guyana are oppressed and marginalized because of their sexual orientation and gender identity, and suffer discrimination in asserting their civil rights.
