Women and Girls in Detention
We have established links with the two prisons/detention centres for girls and women respectively at South Camp Road.Members have conducted visits to the detention centres to observe the conditions under which women and girls are held in an effort to ascertain what is required to improve their condition and to promote the wellbeing of the women detained.
Women’s Centre of Jamaica Foundation
The Centre falls under the Ministry with responsibility for Gender Affairs. It gives pregnant teenage girls and teenage mothers a second chance to continue and complete their education. We are committed to ensuring that girls in their programme do not resort to unsafe practices and inappropriate relationships after becoming depressed because they have no family support or financial aid. We have therefore been making visits to interact with the girls and encourage and motivate them. We have also provided financial assistance for payment of external exam fees/provision of meals during exam preparation marathons/the offsetting of transportation costs for the young ladies who must travel back and forth between the Kingston exam centre and their homes all across Jamaica in order that they will not be separated from their babies for an extended period of time. We have solicited funds to purchase toiletries, hygiene products and toys for the children born to the young ladies who attend the Women's Centre.
