Human rights lobby group Jamaicans for Justice, JFJ, is at this hour locked in an extraordinary members meeting.
This, amid the continuing controversy surrounding the implementation of an unauthorized sex education programme in six privately-run children’s homes.
The lobby group has been plagued by a series of resignations after the findings of its investigation into the matter highlighted inadequacies in its vetting process.
Executive Director, Kay Osbourne, resigned after being in the post for only three months.
She joined former spokesperson Susan Goffe, former Executive Director Dr Carolyn Gomes, former Board Chairman Lisa Lakhan Chen and others to have resigned.
Speaking with Nationwide News on July 19, on the heels of her resignation, Ms Lakhan Chen indicated that the members had called the meeting to discuss the findings of the report into the sex manual controversy.

In its investigation, JFJ admitted that the program fell outside its human rights mandate.
Today’s extraordinary members meeting is expected to make efforts at reconciling the differences in JFJ over its future mandate and priorities as a human rights lobby group.
