Outgoing chairperson for human rights lobby group Jamaicans for Justice, Lisa Lakhan Chen says the organization has sought legal advice as it braces for sanctions over the controversial sex education programme it recently implemented in six privately run children’s homes.
Last month Youth Minister Lisa Hanna wrote to Attorney General Patrick Atkinson, seeking advice on what legal recourse was available to the Ministry and the Child Development Agency against JFJ for the introduction of the unauthorized material in the homes.
Ms. Hanna had also written to Children’s Advocate Diahann Gordon Harrison seeking a legal opinion on the actions of JFJ and the administrators of the homes who facilitated the introduction of the material.
