WORLD WORLDWIDE GHANA All Out people-powered movement LGBTQ+ Homosexsualité GAY News Journal Update - Urgent Action Needed: Protect LGBTIQ Rights in Ghana

 

Dear friends,

Things are getting really bad here in Ghana since the Anti-LGBTIQ Bill of 2021 was introduced. Attacks on LGBTIQ folks and homophobia are on the rise.

This bill is now moving closer to becoming a law. On Wednesday, July 19, the Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit aimed at preventing parliament from passing the bill. It's scary because Uganda passed a similarly dreadful law a month ago and we could be next soon: the person pushing it says it'll be fast-tracked. The outlook is bleak if this happens.

If this bill becomes law, just being suspected of being LGBTIQ could land you in jail for 5 years. Fighting for LGBTIQ rights? That could get you up to 10 years.

Please join the 59,000 who've already signed our petition. We need you on board to fight this.

Thank you for going All Out,
David,
An activist from Ghana
