Co-founder of the recently formed Tambourine Army Latoya Nugent is calling for church congregations islandwide to publicly expose ministers of religion who continue to abuse women and children while using their positions in the Church to evade prosecution.
Tambourine Army was formed in January as a result of the sex scandal that rocked the country and which saw three highly placed members of the Moravian church charged with having sexual intercourse with minors in separate instances.
Aimed at fighting gender-based violence in Jamaica, Tambourine Army staged a successful road march from 127 Molynes Road, Covenant Moravian Church, to the clock in Half-Way Tree, St Andrew, on Saturday. The march attracted international attention.
