Does it help solve issues of child abuse in Jamaica if I avoid the country? Maybe it does, I doubt it.
On the other hand, I refuse to give cruise ships my money because I think their business model is based on exploiting their workers, and I don't like how they pollute wherever they go. It helps that I'm not a big fan of cruises though, so that isn't too difficult for me.
Boycotting an entire country for the actions of some of the people? It doesn't seem like an appropriate response. Not patronizing businesses that exploit their workers or are actively anti-gay or pro-child abuse? That I can do.
