The head of Jamaica’s most prominent human rights group has resigned over a sex education program implemented in children’s group homes.
Kay Osborne is a former manager of a local TV station who became director of Jamaicans for Justice in April. She announced the end of her tenure as director of the group on Sunday.
She says she was unaware of the sex education program in six children’s homes before taking the job earlier this year.
The initiative was intended to prevent the spread of HIV in Jamaica. But critics say it was inappropriate for youngsters.
The controversy has made headlines in Jamaica for weeks.
