The Government remains committed to ensuring that the country’s laws and policies reflect respect for religious freedom and diversity, says Prime Minister, Dr Andrew Holness.
He said that the Administration will continue to engage with religious organisations, the private sector and the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to review existing policies and practices to ensure that religious liberties are upheld in alignment with Jamaica's laws and international human rights.
“Your Government is dedicated to upholding religious freedom, ensuring everyone can worship or not as they choose; this is both a legal and moral duty. Affirming individual dignity and fostering a society where all can thrive, yet safeguarding this liberty, is an ongoing effort requiring eternal vigilance, commitment and collaboration,” he said.
