By Jenelle Willabus ?Violence, in all forms, is a social ill that affects everyone in one way or another, hence having seen the effects one organization over the past decade has dedicated all it resources towards combating this scourge.Help and Shelter Coordinator, Margaret KertziousHelp and Shelter has been in operation since November 1994 and has become a recognised leader in the fight against violence in Guyana – particularly domestic, sexual and child abuse. It is no secret that domestic violence, in particular,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, takes a heavy toll on an individual’s emotional and physical health and has high social and economic costs for families, communities, workplaces and the country as a whole.The organization was the brainchild of a support group created in 1994 as an adjunct to the Georgetown Legal Aid Clinic (now Guyana Legal Aid Clinic) and can be considered a company limited by guarantee with charitable status.This vibrant institute is headed by a Coordinator, Ms. Margaret Kertzious, and a Board of Directors. However the day-to-day operations are currently carried out by a staff of eleven very capable and skilled personnel including, Counselor Advocates, counsellors and Public Education Officers.One may ask what one entity can possibly do to fight against an issue of this magnitude. Well to begin with, Help and Shelter, which is located on Homestretch Avenue, has over the years been a place where battered women, children and men have sought much needed help. It is also safe to say it may have also saved the lives of many who were removed from abusive environs.Help and Shelter has essentially been working to build respect for the rights of all persons to live free of violence or any such threat, by actively fostering high levels of awareness among all sectors, including governmental and non-governmental.The organization also seeks to inform persons about the prevalence, causes and costs of violence, including in the home and other personal relations; and about alternatives to the use of violence through public education, advocacy and networking with like-minded individuals and groups. Also, through its shelter for abused women and children, Help and Shelter assists persons to develop alternative ways of handling power and resolving conflict,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, by providing progressively enhanced counseling for victims and perpetrators of violence through counseling services, including a crisis hotline.Residents of Kwakwani during a public education programme in the area.Ms. Kerztious has been at the helm for the past 13 years, not only because of her love for the job but because she is driven by the entity’s mission and policies as it relates to helping persons. The mission is to bring about behavioural change in societies where, attitudes to the use of violence and practices of violence are transformed. Some other areas of focus include child abuse, trafficking in persons and HIV/AIDS.“We recognized that these social ills are linkages between domestic violence and gender-based violence… they go hand and hand as far as I’m concerned.”On a daily basis, counseling services are offered free of cost. This can be done face-to-face or via a hotline service. But that isn’t all.“We offer public education outreach programmes where we have public education officers and facilitators, who we also have mobilized in different regions to assist us in doing the public education work.”Notably, Help and Shelter provides support to victims who have to go to court. With the assistance of counselor advocates these victims are prepared for such appearances.“A story of abuse involves the police and the court. We have two counselors who go to court every day to support our clients. We try to let them not feel nervous. We try to let them have confidence in themselves so that they can answer questions posed to them by the magistrate or lawyer,” Ms. Kertzious explained.“If at any point during a court hearing the counselor realizes that the intimidation is too much or it is found that a magistrate is insulting or seemingly has an attitude towards the client in any intimidatory form, a record of this is made. It does not only stop there, if it requires the incident being reported to the Chancellor or any other relevant authority,Wholesale MLB Jerseys 2018, this is done without hesitation,” the Coordinator emphasized, while noting that this has been done in the past and has borne fruit.All in all, Help and Shelter over the years has been able to foster a better relationship with the judicial system through a workshop which was said to have been help for many magistrates.
