In Guyana, more than 60 organizations have made a joint submission to authorities, to raise the age of sexual consent to 18.
The subject became a heated issue in Guyana last year after a number of cases in which girls as young as 14 had been abused and even murdered allegedly by men with whom they were having sexual relationships.
The central issue according to the joint submission is about providing young girls with as much protection as possible from sexual predators.
The age of sexual consent in Guyana at the moment is 12 years.
my views
Why wud you blame the eastindians its not their fault n every talking about laws n shit these gurls have a brain you know n a damn good one they kno right from wrong but yet they feel they so wise that they do want they want and end up dead its no ones fault but they own for wats happening to them they can look at dem men n say ewwww n keep moving but they want name brand n stuff so they wont if they dont kno enough to protect their own life then why should the govn't n when the laws change it wont help cuz they still gon sex n yes men will be charged but they wud have gotten wat they wanted n thats the goal. n the consent shud be raised to 18 not 16 cuz they still act stupid too im 16 n i kno i do still make stupid mistakes but not that stupid n i respect my life enough not to put myself in that situation n so shud those gurls.

blame the coulies
First of all its the powerful indians who want doweries for their children that have implemented such ignorant laws. secondly at least there are these dumbass laws that explain why gross grown ass men are destroying the young and impressionable, what's america's excuse?

A DAMN SHAME
FIRST OFF SIMON FROM ISRAEL U ARE A SICK MINDED BUMACLOT. JUST BECAUSE A GIRL CAN CONCEIVE AT 12YRS IS NO REASON TO JUSTIFY SHE SHOULD BE HAVING BABIES. KIDS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING KIDS, THEY ARE BEING ROBBED OF THEIR CHILDHOOD AND THE PEDOPHILES WHO R DOING THIS WILL BURN. A MATURE WOMAN WHO HAS HAD TIME TO DEVELOP 18 OR OLDER AND IS RESPONSIBLE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ON HAVNG A CHILD. BUT A 12YR OLD WHO IS IN GRADE 9 OR PRIMARY SCHOOL STILL ....TELL ME WHAT ARE THEY TO DO.
COMMON SENSE WOULD TELL U THIS. SHAME ON THE LEADERS WHO LET THIS LAW BE IN PLACE. ONLY GOD CAN HELP US

Simon from Israel,you are a heathen!!
How dare!! you try and make sense and defend this injustice on young souls!!!!
And who the @#*!^! told you it was ok for a 12 year old to conceive!!! nature may give her menstral start early but her complete physical and mental state is far from ready,are you a female? do you have any sense of what it would be and do to a child that age to conceive!!
You start your comment by 'It's a Man's world"..is this something to be proud of as a man?!!!
You are just as sick and guilty!!!

Madness!!!
This is madness, for real that's just promoting peadophilia and sexual assaults. I can't believe this..........never in my wildess dreams would I have thought that any country permits the consential age to be anything below 16 let alone 12 and what's even more surprising to me is that it's in the Caribbean...........an Asian country I can perhaps see this happening but .............nah not the WI

U mad!!!
What person would consent in a 12 yr old girl to ahve sexual intercourse or get married. Y es, I understand its been going on for yrs but enough is enough now its getting out of ahnd because most of these girls are not even married that are having sexual intercourse. Wake up people if this does not change now AIDS/HIV will take over the world which is already happening but we can put a stop to it!!

People need a wake up call
This is one of the biggest poblem facing our society today. Many people are not concern about educated young people so they can make something better of themsleves , all there concern about is pleasure. Thats why many young people continue to live in the darkness. A young person doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with a baby, becaue they are not mentally pepared themsleves . Thats why I think it shouldn't even be an issue. it's something an adult should figure out for themsleves.

Change It
People, Come on that age is ridiculous, they need to change that age higher badly. These girls are being introduced to disease not to mention unnecessary abusive behaviour from people that can be a lot older than they are. This age needs to be changed to 18 and there ain't no ands, if, or buts about it. Everyone says they wanna do whats best for humanity. Change that, that's a good stepping stone

Madness!!!
I can not believe the age consent is 12,what kind of madness!!! is that.
It's like making it legal to molest a child!
you mean all these years it was legal for grown men to have sex with a child!
Madness!!!!!!!!
And to think of the people who have been running and controling the laws and Gov't. SHAME!!
Childrens rights should be First on the agenda,how do people expect a positive society! when the people running it allow and take part in madness!!
Bless and clean the young victims soul and show them light.
