Message: Crime Victims Speak Out Petition  

I am a victim of crime while on vacation in the Bahamas. I had just arrived with my husband for a week, first time there. While in the hotel we were staying at on Paradise Island I was drugged, a knife held to my throat and raped all night long. Thousands and thousands of foreign construction workers are living in the Bahamas and are being placed inside hotels with tourists, this will continue for ten years. Please come read my petition for your own safety, and please sign it to help speak up against the crimes being placed on tourists, the injustices we have to endure, the hidden clauses,  and the unlawful way these men are in this country.

I am a crime victim, it happened within 32 hours of arrriving in the Bahamas inside our hotel. I reported the crimes committted on me yet these men were left to live inside the hotel with a never ending amount of tourists, women and children. Thousands and thousands of foreign construction workers are being brought in to build resorts and are living at the tourist hotels. I was told that the Bahamian govt did not do immigration procedures on these men, nor gave them work permits, and the hotel never registered them as we all had to. There were other crime victims, women murdered nearby on the beach yet they still did this, risking our safety in order to build. We are speaking out to change this, please come read my petition for your own safety and help us speak up for change.

The United Nations has come out and stated that the Bahamas has the highest recorded rape counts in the world, ten times higher, the most violent deaths and a high assault rate. The Caribbean (including the Bahamas) has the second highest HIV-AIDS rates in the world. We must speak up, please help.

I am a crime victim now, it happened inside a hotel on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, a small island with thousands and thousands of foreign workers brought in to build a resort. These men were brought into the country without any immigration procedures nor personal work permits issued by the Bahamian govt. They placed these men into hotels with a never ending amount of tourists coming and going. The hotel did not make them register and says they do not know them even though they lived there for years. I was drugged within 32 hours of our arrival, a knife held to my throat and raped all night long. I reported and yet these men were left inside that hotel with everyone else. My petition is to speak up to the Bahamian govt and their Ministry of Tourism, to make them think about safety issues, they sell vacation packages and yet this happens. Please come read my petition for your own safety and help speak up to make a change. Construction will continue for the next ten years.

I became a victim of crime in a hotel on Paradise Island Bahamas, I was there with my husband. I reported the crimes yet the police and others that I reported them to let the men continue to live inside the hotel I was hurt in, with all the other tourists, coming and going. The govt. of the Bahamas let in thousands and thousands of foreign workers and placed these men into hotels for many years, it is still happening. They did not do immigration procedures, nor issue work permits, nor register them into the hotels. The employer hires ex-convicts also. The govt. of the Bahamas sells vacation packages, like ours, knowing this and knowing others were hurt. (www bahamas.com) They then have hidden clauses stating if you get hurt they will not be held liable. We are speaking up to make change so that others will be safe. The United Nations has come out and stated that the Bahamas has the highest recorded rape counts in the world, ten times higher and the most violent deaths. The Caribbean, including the Bahamas has the second highest HIV AIDS counts in the world, yet they continue to place visitors in danger and do not aid you when you get hurt. Please come read my petition for your safety and help us make change. Thank you.
