🇺🇬 Uganda's 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act is regarded as one of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws in the world.
🗣 @openforbusiness CEO @Dominicarnall explained what the economic cost of the law looks like for Uganda going forward.
Watch the insights of @Dominicarnall at the Kaleidoscope Trust & @openforbusiness reception during #ILGAWorld. In the face of a changing political landscape, it is now more important than ever to focus on community-based advocacy and building strong networks to protect LGBTI+ rights.

As queer rights continue regressing across the world, the role and power of businesses to combat this is more crucial than ever.
Last night I was lucky enough to meet former US Vice President @algore and hear him speak. He spoke at length about the environment and the urgent need for everyone to mobilise our political and social systems in support of the natural world. A real “magic at davos” moment.
If you’re at Davos, our CEO @Dominicarnall is speaking in a session tomorrow at WEF’s Ice Village (Dome A) at 10.00am - “Corporate Advocacy in a Fractured World” come and say hello!
Excited (and a little nervous!) to be part of Davos 2024, representing Open for Business.
