South Africa has declared its abstention from the adoption of the African Charter on Family, Sovereignty and Values at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference in Accra.

The delegation says the Charter’s definition of marriage as solely between a man and a woman is inconsistent with its Constitution and international legal principles.

The position was announced by delegation head Zandile Majozi during deliberations.

Real question: when will Parliament be as urgent about floods and broken ambulances as they are about criminalizing LGBTQ people? #GhanaCheckyourAura #BackToSender

7/ Silence in moments like this has consequences. Don’t be silent, speak up. #HumanRights #Ghana #DignityForAll

1/ Reports indicate that Ghana’s Anti-LGBTQ+ bill has been passed. This marks a deeply troubling moment for human rights and constitutional freedoms in the country.

6/ Ghana’s policy direction must remain grounded in inclusion, dignity and evidence-based priorities that respond to real societal needs.

Witchcraft accusations should be a thing of fiction, but they’re happening right now. In Ghana, hundreds of women are accused of witchcraft and struggling to survive.

Together we can help end this, and pass the Anti-Witchcraft Bill into law.

Just back from Taiwan 🇹🇼 where I joined Amnesty colleagues for a workshop on Business & Human Rights.
Ghana’s new National Action Plan is a major step forward. @amnestyghana will be monitoring its rollout to ensure rights are respected across all sectors.

The comments regarding the headmaster in Ghana sexually harassing the high school student are very worrying. Consent in this context cannot be given. Teacher student sexual relations are illegal in this country. Please let us not normalise this.

I commend the President of Ghana for granting amnesty to 998 prisoners. This act of mercy will ease prison congestion and also give several people a second chance at life. #amnestyghana #Amnestyinternational #presidentialpardonsghana

Our heart felt condolences to the loved ones of the victims of the helicopter crash that occurred on 6th August in Ghana. May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time🙏🏽
