Question 19972 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Gabriel Serville draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the suicide of a young Native American woman who mourned the commune of Maripasoula in Guyana, on May 8, 2019. This was the fourth suicide affecting the colleague of the commune since the start of the school year. Suicide among Native American populations is a known problem, the phenomenon having been described in a parliamentary report by Aline Archimbaud and Marie-Anne Chapdelaine handed over to the government on November 30, 2015. Certain measures have since been taken such as the arrival of a school psychologist or the strengthening of the CMP and CMPI staff. These measures taken by the rectorate, although they are essential, do not resolve the basic problem which requires a real action plan coordinated by the Ministry of Solidarity and Health, in particular through a broad awareness campaign and fight against alcoholism, drug addiction, and sexual violence, all recurring problems in this part of Guyanese territory. Also, he asks him to kindly enlighten him on the possible solutions envisaged to combat the phenomenon of suicide among young Native Americans.
