Redefining Manhood. Building a Better Jamaica.

What does it truly mean to be a man?

During a recent high school session on healthy masculinity, young men were encouraged to challenge societal stereotypes, embrace positive self-expression and recognize that true strength lies in respect, accountability and the courage to choose communication over violence.

The discussion explored the importance of pursuing purpose, understanding one’s rights, standing against gender-based violence and becoming men whom women feel safe around. It also highlighted the powerful role fathers and positive male role models play in shaping the next generation.
But empowering young men requires more than a conversation; it requires collective action.

Parents, educators, and communities must lead by example, challenge harmful stereotypes and create spaces where boys can grow into emotionally healthy, respectful and responsible men.

To our young men: You do not have to become who society expects you to be. You have the power to redefine manhood.

Let us raise boys who understand that strength is not about intimidation, but integrity; not about control, but respect. Because the men we empower today will help shape the Jamaica we build tomorrow.

A quick recap of our Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Workshop at YMWCA!

Educating and empowering our youth is key to preventing GBV. Our youth are the future, and by shaping their minds today, we nurture a generation grounded in respect, equality, and healthy relationships.

Together, we can build safer communities where everyone lives free from violence and fear.

19/10/2026

Today, we honour the courage, resilience and unwavering determination of our heroes whose sacrifices helped shape our nation’s history and pave the way for future generations.

As we reflect on their legacy, may we be reminded that heroism is not only found in the extraordinary acts of the past, but also in the everyday efforts to uplift, empower and create a more just and compassionate society.

At the Women’s Resource & Outreach Centre (WROC), we recognise that building a stronger Jamaica requires all of us to carry forward the values of courage, equality, service and community. May the legacy of our National Heroes continue to inspire us to stand for what is right and work towards a brighter future for all.

Happy National Heroes Day, Jamaica! 🇯🇲

When Hurricane Melissa struck, we made a commitment — not just to respond, but to stand with our communities through every stage of recovery.
That’s why we launched a 2-phase approach to our advocacy and humanitarian support. 💛

Phase 1: With the support of our partners and dedicated volunteers:

✨

We delivered food, water, hygiene items, and essential supplies to affected communities across Westmoreland.
Together, we reached families who had lost the most, ensuring dignity, safety, and immediate relief. 🚚💨

Phase 2: Now, we move into rebuilding and restoration, supporting livelihoods, stabilizing households, and helping families reclaim their sense of security and hope. This is long-term work, and we are committed. 🌱🏡

WROC stands with our communities. Recovery is a journey — and we walk it together.
