Faith leaders say fatherless homes eroding values

Faith leaders have raised concerns over the increasing prevalence of fatherless households and family breakdowns across the Caribbean, attributing the trend to shifting social attitudes, women’s growing independence, and the erosion of traditional family values. Speaking at a press conference hosted by the faith-based organization Family Faith Freedom Barbados (FFFB) at the First Baptist Church, religious figures highlighted the complex interplay between social progress and its unintended consequences on family dynamics.
