Dear Editor,
I am in full support of the U.S State Department 2010 Report on Trafficking in Persons in Guyana. This Report was compiled by thorough investigations and should not be disputed.
It is strange that many government ministers and persons close to the government are saying this report is “crap” and “nonsense”.
It appears that these persons do not understand what is TIP. Many under aged Amerindian girls are being lured into prostitution by well organised criminal outfits and these criminal outfits are being protected by the people in high places, hence no prosecution or charges for TIP.
Just ask the Immigration authorities in Trinidad, Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia and Suriname and they will tell you about the hundreds of young Guyanese girls operating in their countries as prostitutes.
How did these young women reach these countries? Who paid their air fares? Who provided accommodation for them?
The answer is simple, the local crime outfits with their associates in those countries.
What about the hundreds of women from neighbouring countries women who are plying their profession in Guyana from Bartica to Georgetown? Who gave them work permits? Who are extending their stays in Guyana? Are there no immigration laws for these women?
Aren’t these foreign women part of the Trafficking in Persons scenario?
According to the Immigration Laws of Canada and the USA, a person is inadmissible for entry into Canada and the USA for trafficking in persons or encouraging prostitution and child labour.
Those in authority who turn a blind eye on these illegal activities are guilty and should be prohibited from entering the USA and Canada.
