Ghana approves sweeping anti-LGBTQ law
Ghana’s parliament has approved one of Africa’s most restrictive anti-LGBTQ laws, reviving controversial legislation that imposes prison terms for same-sex relations and support for LGBTQ activities, despite strong criticism from human rights groups and international organisations.
Ghanaian lawmakers have passed a stringent new law targeting LGBTQ+ individuals, enacting prison sentences for same-sex relationships and for providing support to LGBTQ+ initiatives. This legislation is among the most restrictive of its kind on the African continent. The bill's approval follows a period of intense debate and opposition from various human rights advocates and international bodies.
This development is significant as it represents a major legislative crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights in Ghana, potentially impacting the safety and freedoms of a vulnerable population.
