BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Barbados-based Healthy Caribbean Coalition (HCC) says it has launched a regional social media campaign aimed at removing unhealthy, ultra-processed food and drink marketing from schools.
HCC said that the campaign is being undertaken in collaboration with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Barbados (HSFB), the Heart Foundation of Jamaica (HFJ), and the Jamaica Youth Advocacy Network (JYAN).
The “Make it Make Sense” campaign is also intended to protect spaces meant for children, and the target countries include Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Bahamas, Barbados, St. Lucia, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, and St. Kitts and Nevis.
The HCC said that the goal is to engage the media with its latest social media campaign, which will run until July 16, with the objective of highlighting the problems posed by the marketing of unhealthy food and drinks in and around schools.
