Alana Breaks the Myths: Leaving Is Strength, Not Shame

Alana, a Warrau mother from Region 1, walked away from years of abuse — only to be told she “bring shame” and should’ve stayed.

But here’s the truth:
✔ Leaving violence is courage.
✔ Survivors deserve support, not judgment.
✔ Emotional, financial & digital abuse ARE real violence.

Now, Alana helps other women take that first step.
Her message: “You are not alone. Help exists — even when the road is long.”

The recent update from the Ministry of Health is a serious wake-up call. 449 new HIV infections so far this year — many of which could have been prevented.

At GRPA, we remain committed to protecting our communities through testing, treatment and powerful prevention tools like PrEP.

Here’s what YOU can do today:

✅ Get Tested:
Know your status. Early detection saves lives. Confidential HIV testing is available at GRPA.

✅ Get Treated:
If you test positive, treatment is free and effective. With proper care, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives.

✅ Get Protected with PrEP:

Let’s protect each other.
Let’s end HIV in Guyana — together.

Shanice Speaks: Consent & Respect Start With Youth

At 20, Shanice — a Macushi youth leader from Region 9 — sees how pressure shapes young people’s relationships. Too often, she hears girls say: “Since we did it before, I can’t tell he no,” or “If I refuse, he gon vex.”

During the 16 Days of Activism, she’s keeping it clear and real:

“Consent mean yuh ask, yuh wait, and yuh respect when somebody seh NO.”

Her reminder to youth: your voice matters, your boundaries matter, and silence is never a ‘yes.’
