Rep. Marcia Ranglin-Vassell, a native of Jamaica, decries the violence against women in her home country and is demanding action. I am writing this as a matter of great public health concern. I am troubled and deeply concerned by the upsurge in the number and the egregious way women are murdered and victimized in Jamaica. Violence against women and girls is on the rise and this cannot be tolerated or normalized. Gun violence is a public health issue in Jamaica with totally preventable deaths soaring every day. The number of women that have been murdered within the last months and years have been tragically heart-wrenching. Sadly, violence among women is not new in Jamaica. I recall being a 14-year-old when a local shopkeeper, a woman was violently shot and killed. That was 46 years ago.
