Dear Ms. Bonner,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for meeting with us.
As a follow-up, we have listed our concerns and issues below for your
reference and look forward to your response.
Issues
- Government Public Service announcement denouncing homophobic/transphobic violence in Jamaica.
- National homophobia/transphobia Education campaign.
- Repealing the Buggery Laws and other legislation that further
stigmatize, discriminate and criminalize consensual same sex acts.
- Public education campaign to sensitize the Jamaican Constabulary
around dealing with the victims of violence around lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans-identified people and their families across Jamaica.
