The United Progressive Party\u2019s Leadership, Membership and Women\u2019s Forum condemn Dean Jonas, Minister of Gender Affairs, for his insensitive and flawed remarks implying that an underaged girl can consent to sex with an adult male.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n

Jonas made the remark during an interview on ABS Television, yesterday, November 25, at the start of the observance of \u00a0<\/span>16 Days of Activism<\/i><\/span>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The MP for St. George said that sexual relations between a girl of 13 or 14 and a man of maybe twice her age, in certain circumstances, could be said to have the consent of the minor.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is very unfortunate,\u201d Political Leader Harold Lovell says. \u00a0\u201cAt a time like this, when the focus is on getting the public \u2013 especially males \u2013 to realize that any type of violence against women and girls is wrong, the Minister\u2019s comments are particularly jarring.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe violation of a child is an extremely serious and disgusting matter that demands condemnation and prosecution. \u00a0Not rationalization,\u201d Lovell adds. \u00a0\u201cAnd for a Member of Parliament to remove responsibility from the adult and place it on the child is simply inexcusable.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, General Secretary Senator Shawn Nicholas says that Jonas ought to be fired for his ignorant and insensitive comments, which, she says, amount to providing a rationale for raping a minor. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cUnder the laws of Antigua & Barbuda, 16 years is the age of consent, and the Minister knows that! \u00a0Therefore, there can be no explanation or excuse for his statements,\u201d the Senator declares.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n

She says she speaks for every member of the Party\u2019s Women\u2019s Forum in expressing her disgust for the Gender Affairs Minister. \u00a0\u201cChildhood ought to be sacred, and children must be allowed to be children,\u201d Nicholas says. \u00a0\u201cThe responsibility of the Minister is to ensure they are protected; not exploited under the guise of non-existent \u2018consent.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n

Ironically, the <\/span>16 Days of Activism<\/i><\/span> that Jonas was endorsing at the time he made the remarks are aimed at eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls.<\/span><\/p>\n
