Determined to shake off accusations of political bias and being an organisation that exists mainly to criticise the Government, Fi We Children Foundation is insisting that its criticism of government decisions is driven by its commitment to protecting children’s rights and holding those in power accountable.

Your phone is an advocacy tool. As Gen Z advocates, use it to engage respectfully with public officials and drive evidence-based advocacy.
It really is that simple: informed voices can influence change.

Here is the civil society shadow report to the UN Human Rights Committee reviewing Jamaica’s list of prior recommendations made in 2016. The state submitted its own report. Civil society provided responses and recommendations based on data and experiences of our target groups.
Don’t take our word for it, or anyone else’s. Read the full report for yourself: tr.ee/51XbPE
