Gender-Based Violence affects all age groups in Jamaica. We must be able to identify it and call it out when we see it. Youth advocates have identified some examples of GBV in everyday life and have found a creative way to address them. Check it out! #YouthAgainstGBV

Violence leaves lasting scars. It's time to break the cycle! These alarming stats show the painful reality that far too many of our youth are being exposed to violence. Our youth deserve B.E.T.T.A – Better Environments to Thrive and Achieve. #EndViolence #YutesDeserveBETTA

Childhood obesity is on the rise! Obesity places children at a much higher risk of other non-communicable diseases! We must implement policies, such as the National School Nutrition Policy, to get children eating better and playing more! #SNPTimeNow #WorldObesityDay

Look how wi sweet! We don’t need added sugar. The average soda contains 50 grams, which is 2 times the recommended daily amount for school children. The natural sugars in foods are enough to provide the energy children need to get through the day. #SNPTimeNow #NutritionMonth

Your breakfast might be packing more sugar than you think‼️ Too much sugar can lead to weight gain and an increased risk of diabetes. 🥲 Cut back on sugar and protect your health. ❤️ #FoodFactsFridays #NutritionMonth #NYAMHealthyJA

The National School Nutrition Policy has been approved by Cabinet! Jamaica is one BIG step closer to healthier meals in schools. Policies in Jamaica can sit on paper without any real implementation. Here’s how we can ensure that doesn’t happen with the School Nutrition Policy.

Caribbean youth are leading the charge! We’re taking action and calling for healthier school food environments, where the sale and marketing of ultra-processed products are regulated. We demand that our leaders #ActOnFacts — to protect our children. #CaribbeanYouthForHealth
