As Ghana moves forward with it's anti-LGBTIQ bill, it's important to acknowledge what Parliament hasn't passed: legislation protecting the property rights of spouses, constitutionally mandated since 1993, that would meaninfully protect families. So, the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill is not really about family values. We call on regional and international partners to stand with LGBTIQ+ Ghanaians and maintain pressure at this critical moment.

Alors que le Ghana poursuit l'examen de son projet de loi anti-LGBTIQ, il est important de souligner ce que le Parlement n'a pas adopté : une législation protégeant les droits de propriété des conjoints, prévue par la Constitution depuis 1993, qui permettrait de protéger efficacement les familles. Ainsi, le projet de loi sur les droits sexuels et les valeurs familiales ne porte pas réellement sur les valeurs familiales. Nous appelons les partenaires régionaux et internationaux à se tenir aux côtés des Ghanéens LGBTIQ+ et à maintenir la pression en ce moment critique.

À medida que o Gana avança com o seu projeto de lei anti-LGBTIQ, é importante reconhecer o que o Parlamento não aprovou: legislação que proteja os direitos de propriedade dos cônjuges, exigida constitucionalmente desde 1993, e que protegeria efetivamente as famílias. Assim, o Projeto de Lei sobre Direitos Sexuais Humanos e Valores Familiares não se refere, na verdade, a valores familiares. Apelamos aos parceiros regionais e internacionais para que se solidarizem com os ghaneses LGBTIQ+ e mantenham a pressão neste momento crítico.

Chale, the more people talk past each other on this issue, the more confusion it creates. #GhanaCheckYourAura

The MP sponsoring this bill stood in committee and asked why Ghana has AIDS.
The Commission distributes lubricants. The Commission needed to explain HIV prevention to
lawmaker. That is the level of debate surrounding this law. #GhanaCheckYourAura

The voices of ordinary Ghanaians should carry just as much weight as anyone else’s. #BackToTheSender

Speaker Bagbin announced that Parliament arranged accommodation, security, and logistics for foreign delegates attending this conference. Ghana is dealing with debt restructuring and fiscal pressure. Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how much this cost. #GhanaCheckYourAura

The so-called "African Charter on Family, Sovereignty and Values" was drafted by Christian Council International, a Netherlands-based organisation. A Dutch organisation wrote your African values. Let that sink in. #GhanaCheckYourAura

[Rightify Ghana @RightifyGhana]

Consequently, Mozambique called for wider, necessary consultations among its government, parliament, and domestic stakeholders before committing to the charter.

A law that creates fear around seeking healthcare affects everyone. Public health works best when people can access services without fear of stigma, suspicion or punishment. #BackToSender

[D' Stonewall Child @Kherllye]

The exemptions proposed for health workers, lawyers and other professionals are not enough. In practice, fear and discrimination can still prevent people from accessing essential services. #BackToSender

[Drama Queens @dramaqueensgh]

Calling queerness “un-African” falls apart when Ghanaian languages already carry terms like kojo besia and supi. You can debate policy, but don’t erase culture and history to do it. #BackToSender #GhanaCheckYourAura

One careless “I heard…” can destroy a life. One brave voice can protect it. Choose courage over rumors. Speak up. Stand up. Protect each other.

🚨 As Accra is underwater (flooded), parliament is on 3-day break hosting an anti-rights conference on Family Values and Sovereignty.

While some claim same-sex relationships are foreign to Ghanaian culture, terms like “supi” have long existed in parts of southern Ghana to describe intimate relationships between women. History and language often tell a more nuanced story. #GhanaCheckYourAura

[ICE MONI @Ice_Moni2]

Suspicion is the silent k^ller in our communities. Before you point fingers, check your aura. Let’s choose empathy over fear.

Real question: When will Parliament be as urgent about floods and broken ambulances as they are about criminalizing LGBTQIA+ people? #GhanaCheckYourAura #BackToSender

[JustRight Ghana @JustRightGhana]

Young African women and LGBTQ youth have the most to lose from this charter. Maputo Protocol protections gone. Continental criminalization normalized. Your entire adult lives lived under this framework if we do not stop it now. #GhanaCheckYourAura #ProtectTheMaputoProtocol
