Ghana: Adoption of anti-LGBT+ law remains pending

Ghana Adoption of anti LGBT law remains pending

Passed overwhelmingly in parliament last February, the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values ​​Act has yet to be enacted. It provides for penalties of up to three years in prison for people who identify as LGBT+ and up to 10 years in prison for those who “promote LGBT+ activities.” The Supreme Court has been petitioned to block the enactment of the bill. On 17 July, it announced that it was postponing its decision.
