Ghana’s LGBTQ+ community is facing increased fear and persecution due to a new bill passed by MPs, which could lead to jail time for identifying as LGBTQ+ or promoting their activities.
The bill has sparked concerns about safety and discrimination among LGBTQ+ individuals, who already face homophobia in the country.
Many fear being outed, ostracized by their families, and even physically attacked.
Some are considering leaving the country to escape the hostile environment.
The bill has drawn condemnation from international partners and could have significant economic repercussions for Ghana.
