Ghana, like many other countries, grapples with the complex issue of LGBTQ rights.

Presently, there is a private bill in parliament that seeks to criminalise the activities of the LGBTQ in Ghana.

The Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill otherwise known as Anti- the LGBTQ Bill, when passed will prescribe stringent punishment for persons who are caught engaged in or promoting activities of LGBTQ in the country.
