She remained optimistic that a future government might repeal the bill if the President assents to it.

After the successful passage of the Promotion of Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, commonly referred to as the anti-LGBTQ bill, by the Parliament of Ghana, a press conference was held in Accra on Wednesday, February 28, 2024. During the conference, the bill was likened to a reintroduction of the criminal libel law.

Lawmakers completed the various consideration stages, leading to the final passage of the bill into law.

This law stipulates that “unnatural carnal knowledge” is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years.

As Ghana grapples with discussions surrounding the proposed anti-LGBTQ+ bill, it becomes imperative for citizens to understand its implications and significance within the socio-political landscape of the country.

Introduced by a group of lawmakers and supported by various religious and conservative groups, the bill reflects broader societal attitudes towards homosexuality and gender diversity in the country.
