BONELA notes with concern a briefing by Amnesty International dated 9 January 2024 and titled “We are facing extinction”, wherein Amnesty reports on an increase in the use and weaponization of legal systems on the continent, to target and discriminate against members of the LGBTQI community. This weaponization of legal system has contributed to the global deterioration of human rights and an increase in attacks, oppression and hostility towards the community resulting in threats to their safety and wellbeing. Additionally, the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioners media statement dated 24 March 2022, warns of the risk faced by those whose working to end violence and discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity. In light of this warning, the Ghanaian Bill places a target on the backs of human right defenders working in country.
BONELA continues to stands in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ and International community in demanding that the rights and protections, enshrined in the International Bill of Rights, be extended to the LGBTQIA+ community.
