The JFW neutralized more Afro-centric feminism in Jamaica. It attracted a large membership, including poor rural women and still operates across a wide network of rural branches. To promote employment, currently the JFW is training women in personal development, and the packaging and marketing of products. They have been conducting 'Darkness to Light' courses, which help women to understand and prevent child abuse. They are also partnering with National Environment and Planning Agency for an 'Impact of Climate Change on Families' programme to address environmental concerns.
