UNAIDS applauds Botswana on fully repealing anti-LGBTQ+ law
More than six years after Botswanaโs courts struck down a ban on same-sex intimacy, the government has now formally removed the discriminatory provisions from the law.
UNAIDS statement below: https://t.co/mZnddd1cKdโฆ
Visibility itself is advocacy but also increases risk, returning to grassroots organising and mutual support to withstand anti-rights movements is important. Teaching intersectionality and diversity from primary school to reduce discrimination systemically was proposed
criminalisation enables state control and surveillance, widespread impunity and varied impacts across identities. Donor funding changes have eroded services and trust, driving communities underground and worsening stigma and access to care @kingndondo
Criminalisation prevents trans & intersex people from obtaining IDs and thus limits access to employment, housing & healthcare. Providers & justice systems frequently discriminate & rarely prosecute abuses against gender-diverse people, leaving victims without recourse.
local, context-specific advocacy and legal recognition of organisations is important; such efforts must consider trade-offs, ensure long-term support and wellness for activists, and include work to queer health systems so marginalised people can access equitable services;
Reproductive justice should replace narrow โchoiceโ narratives with a people-centered, holistic approach that addresses lived realities, tailors comprehensive services to the most marginalised, and uses solidarity and collective advocacy to scale interventions regionally-webinar
Criminalisation acts as systematic, gendered social control that restricts access to info, education, reproductive and gender-affirming care, increases policing and violence against marginalised groups, and produces cascading social and economic harms that undermine autonomy.
