KINGSTON, Jamaica—Opposition Spokesperson on Gender Affairs, Persons with Disabilities and the Elderly, Denise Daley is calling for Jamaica to strengthen its legislative and policy response to cyberbullying and the growing misuse of artificial intelligence, warning that technology is increasingly being weaponised to intimidate, exploit and traumatise vulnerable citizens, particularly women and young people.

Speaking during her contribution to the 2026 Sectoral Debate, Daley said abuse no longer ends when someone leaves a home, school or workplace, but increasingly follows victims into the digital space.

“Today, abuse no longer ends when someone leaves the house. It follows them onto their mobile phones, computers and social media accounts,” she said.
