đź–¤ We wear black to stand in solidarity with those affected by violence.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we must also think about the children who witness violence at home.

They may not have the words to explain what they see or hear, but living with fear, witnessing a loved one being hurt, or growing up around threats and intimidation can affect their sense of safety and wellbeing.

Children should never have to learn that fear is part of love or that violence is simply something to endure.

Through Thursdays in Black, we support survivors, challenge the attitudes that excuse abuse, and realise our responsibility to those in our homes.

We're coming to the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Monthđź©· and WMW Jamaica encourages you to make time for your health in every way.

🎀Learn the signs of breast cancer, and get checked if you notice any changes.

🎀 We talk for the reduction of Gender-Based Violence but we also talk for breast health. Why?

No one should have to navigate difficult health experiences, but even more so, alone.

🎀 Take time to know your body, ask questions, seek support and spread awareness.

On Monday, WMW Ja's WE-Talk Project Team conducted a Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training session with a number of senior citizens of Kingston and St. Andrew.

Our facilitator, Dr. Pauline Gayle-Betten of the Jamaica Red Cross Society, came with a number of informative points to equip the seniors of various church groups and communities with basic skills to handle psychological crises around them.

Key Action Takeaways?
1. Look - pay attention to cues around you that may be pointing to emotional, psychological or situational distress.
2. Listen - be an active listener to those who choose to share their problems with you.
3. Link - try to assist with what YOU can, and direct persons to appropriate authorities.

Let's help our fellow Jamaicans as best as we can. Look. Listen. Link. đź’Ż

Another powerful message in our series of back to school anti-GBV remindersđź’Ż

Boys experience violence too. Let's learn the signs of violence and look out for our children.

🚩It is often the case that violence escalates to fatality because we expect it to look ONE particular way.

But sometimes violence as a whole, and GBV (Gender-Based Violence) particularly, doesn't always leave a bruise. So do YOU know the "red flags" of abusive relationships?

Recognizing the signs is a step towards building safer, healthier communities.

Earlier this year, in a series of workshops with the school, students used their voices to create posters with powerful messages for their peers, schools, homes and communities on building safer spaces and preventing GBV. 🗣️💜

As a new school year begins, we’re bringing those messages back to the forefront. Safer schools start with learning and then sharing, so here’s to a school year of respect, healthy relationships and speaking up!

WMW Jamaica is proud to have been a part of today's Walk & Ageing Fair from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, and the National Council for Senior Citizens.

We were happy to contribute to and learn from our senior citizens from all across Jamaica, who came out to promote a healthier lifestyle as they age gracefully.

Looking forward to more opportunities such as this!
