Through visibility we can send a message that our community is united against the hatred we are seeing. At the Global Equality Caucus the work continues until all LGBT+ people are safe, free and equal.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 in Uganda. By enhancing criminal sentences targeted at LGBT+ people, this law increases the threat of violence, intimidation and persecution of an already-marginalised community in the country.
To mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia 2023, we look at the successes so far in 2023 to ban ‘conversion therapy’, and where we are still waiting to see legislation progress.
