Omattie Madray, MD of Guyana’s ChildLinK, explains how Blue Umbrella Day protects boys

Omattie Madray is the managing director of ChildLinK, Guyana, and founding member of the Family For Every Child global alliance.

In this piece for Devex, Omattie explains how a multistakeholder approach led by Guyana’s Childcare and Protection Agency is stamping out the shame of speaking out about sexual abuse of boys.

The piece was written to mark Blue Umbrella Day, an awareness day that aims to draw attention to the need to provide appropriate protection to boys to support their wellbeing. 

Blue Umbrella Day is an initiative of Family for Every Child, a global alliance of children’s organisations that work together to improve the lives of children and families worldwide.
