The Guyana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (GMICS) 2019-2020 assessment of males and females across Guyana has found that many persons still believe that there are justifiable reasons for males hitting or beating their partners, with lower percentages vindicating actions such as burning food but increasing numbers if that partner believed that they were being cheated on.
The survey has only recently been made available.
In a country where domestic violence is widespread among its females, the report revealed that males between the ages of 15 to 17 years old represented the highest percentage who said they believed that hitting their partner could be justified.
