GOMES… comfortable that the content provides accurate and globally accepted information about sexual and reproductive health and rights
THE content of the controversial sex education programme implemented by Jamaicans For Justice (JFJ) in six privately run children’s homes did not get approval from the human rights organisation’s board.
That admission was made by Dr Carolyn Gomes in her resignation letter as a board member, a copy of which was obtained by the Jamaica Observer. Gomes, in her June 17 letter to JFJ chair Lisa Lakhan-Chen, took responsibility for the development of the project and the beginning of the implementation process, which, she said, occurred in the period October 2013 to December 2013 before she demitted office as executive director of the organisation.
“The project continued after I left, but at no time while I was [in] office did the specific content of the programme get board approval. For this I take full responsibility,” Gomes said in her letter.
