Dear Editor,
I refer to an article SN (Oct. 29, 2022) in which it was reported that His Excellency, President Irfaan Ali, informed that ‘’a broad-based committee spearheaded by Guyana Defence Force, Brigadier Godfrey Bess with Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken as second in command,…’ to address matters related to the 1000-Man initiative…to end violence against women.’. While Brigadier Bess and Commissioner Hicken are experts in their fields, I would like to suggest that Behavioural/Cultural Specialists should lead such a Committee. This is paramount for success and this change should be seriously considered.
Sincerely,
Dr. C. Kenrick Hunte
Professor and Former Ambassador
