Kingston, Jamaica

This week on 18° Degrees North we delve into the issue of Jamaica’s lost boys – doing anything they can do to survive, even putting their sexuality on the line. It's a classic case of how when the government fails to protect its children, the wrong set of people are only too happy to fill in the gaps.

Plus we investigate child sexual abuse in Trinidad & Tobago. Why is the government failing to implement child protection laws? We speak to a victim fighting for justice. 

And now that Britain has legalized gay marriage, we explore the new frontier for gay rights in the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory, where homosexuality was already made legal in 2001 by the British despite some local opposition.
