Quick Glance: Ghana: Activists Fight Against LGBTQ+ Criminalization Law
- Ghana has passed a controversial bill that penalizes not only LGBTQ+ individuals but also those who defend them, with up to 10 years in prison. Activists have pledged to challenge the law, awaiting the president's signature.
- The law sets prison terms from six months to three years for LGBTQ+ sexual acts, already illegal in Ghana. It also criminalizes those advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, with up to 10 years in prison if targeting minors.
- A clause in the law requires reporting anyone identifying as LGBTQ+ to the police or community leaders, with up to three years in prison for such identification. The bill was promoted as contributing to UN sustainable development goals.
- The bill was passed by a coalition of Christian, Muslim, and traditional Ghanaian leaders, arguing it aligns with UN development goals. Activists believe the law misrepresents the country's values and implications.
