Ghana Criminalizes LGBTQ+ Rights

Ghana just passed a landmark bill criminalizing same-sex relations and LGBTQ+ advocacy, joining over 65 UN nations with similar laws. Across Africa, more than 30 countries—including Nigeria and Kenya—criminalize homosexuality, while Asia’s Malaysia and Sri Lanka also enforce such restrictions. Alarmingly, seven nations still impose the death penalty for consensual same-sex acts, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, and parts of Nigeria. The Ghanaian bill awaits presidential approval, sparking global concern as the world grapples with a widening divide between progressive acceptance and escalating legal persecution of LGBTQ+ people.
