Domestic violence continues to be a major problem in Guyana. Women rights groups have issued calls for the Government and the international community to do more to stem the increase in violent acts against women. Calls have also been issued for the religious community to become involved and offer more services to fight domestic violence and gender based violence.

Guyana has recorded several gruesome murders of women this year. In most of those cases, the women died at the hands of their love partners.
