In a blow for global LGBTQ+ human rights, Ghana's parliament has passed an anti-LGBTQ+ bill, the 'Human Sexual Rights and Family Values' Act, which further criminalises LGBTQ+ rights and activities in the country. The bill imposes prison sentences of up to five years for "wilful promotion, sponsorship, or support of LGBTQ+ activities," in addition to the existing three-year sentence for same-sex relations. The bill will become law if validated by the President Nana Akufo-Addo. A recent Amnesty International report revealed a surge in anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment across Africa, with 31 countries still criminalising LGBTQ+ identities. This highlights the concerning intersection of rising prejudice and discriminatory legal frameworks in many African nations. You can read Amnesty International's full report here: https://lnkd.in/ew5mqsD8 LGBT Great condemns the passage of this bill and urges President Nana Akufo-Addo to withhold signing it into law. We are committed to working with our Members to navigate complex LGBTQ+ issues.

Today marks a significant day at the UN as indigenous leaders are pushing for an Indigenous Peoples Permanent Observer status, and a distinct accreditation status to fully engage at the Human Rights Council, representing the 7 sociocultural regions globally. The council will review the guidelines. As ECMIA, I will address these guiding principles: equality (UN Charter), the right to self-determination and self-identification (UNDRIP) and non-discrimination (CEDAW GR39), crucial for Indigenous women and girls. #UN #HumanRightsCouncil #IndigenousPeoplesRights

The European Union was founded on the principles of equality and non-discrimination but yet too many people continue to face discrimination and inequality across the Union. It is imperative that the EU institutions strengthen their resolve to take meaningful and urgent action to address this reality. 🔗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 ➡ https://lnkd.in/gG-sGphe #EU #Europe #EuropeanUnion #Discrimination #Equality #Racism #Decolonisation #PactforEquality
