Violence against women remains one of the single biggest scourges in every society. Whatever their age, race, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics, all women should be free of violence. Criminalising same-sex intimacy between women only adds to and fuels violence.
Human Dignity Trust@HumanDignityT

On this #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfViolenceAgainstWomen, we’re calling attention to a stark reality: 41 countries still criminalise private, consensual sexual activity between women using laws against ‘lesbianism’, ‘same-sex relations’, or ‘gross indecency’. Even in jurisdictions that do not explicitly criminalise women, lesbians and bisexual women have been subjected to arrest or threat of arrest. Read our report Breaking the Silence: Criminalisation of Lesbians and Bisexual Women and its Impacts to learn more: humandignitytrust.org/resources/brea…

‘It is a deplorable development that the military regime in Burkina Faso has criminalised private, consensual, human rights protected conduct. In a world where the number of criminalising countries has significantly reduced over the past decade, this is a deeply regressive move that is part of a worrying trend in Francophone Africa.’ said @TeaBraun, Chief Executive of the Human Dignity Trust.

A new provision criminalising same-sex sexual acts was signed in to law by the President of #BurkinaFaso on 25 September, having been adopted by the unelected transitional parliament on 1 September. The enacted text differs from earlier drafts of the law that were circulated and reported on. It explicitly criminalises ‘homosexual acts or similar practices’ as well as ‘behaviour likely to promote homosexual and similar practices,’ with penalties of two to five years’ imprisonment and fines of up to 10 million CFA francs. The number of jurisdictions criminalising same-sex intimacy around the world is now 65. Find out more about the amended Persons and Family Code, which inserts this new provision (Article 210-3) criminalising same-sex sexual acts on our website humandignitytrust.org/resources/law-…

Excellent news earlier this week that the mandate of the UN Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity has been renewed. It’s vital we all work to end criminalisation of and violence against LGBT people.

Gay sex ban in #Namibia ruled unconstitutional "It won't be a crime to love anymore," Mr Dausab said, reacting to the verdict. "I no longer feel like a criminal on the run in my own country simply because of who I am." via @BBCAfrica bbc.com/news/articles/…

The High Court of Namibia held that criminalising gay men “poses a greater threat to the fabric of society as a whole than tolerance.” Huge credit to Friedel, the legal team on the ground and the activist community in #Namibia who have supported him. humandignitytrust.org/news/laws-bann…

We started conceptualising and planning this case in 2015. Eight years later, it had won, making history in Mauritius. Now, Ryan tells his story.

A great reminder from UNAIDS ED, Winnie Byanyima, of the fight against HIV, led by many #LGBT activists originally, and the decriminalisation victories that have been achieved since 2019. Decriminalisation of same-sex intimacy ensures better health access ipsnews.net/2024/06/proud-…
