📌URGENT: GBV— It’s a new year, friends, and for me, the time for gentle treatment is over. If being labeled a “Lesego Chombo hater” is the price I have to pay for speaking truth, then so be it. I know my heart, and I am confident in the work I do every day—with passion, integrity, and commitment. Her apathy is hers to carry, but it is hindering progress, especially on issues that fall under her ministry’s portfolio.
I’ve shared my thoughts on her most recent post, maintaining respect in my words. I encourage you to add your voice to the conversation, but I ask that you do so thoughtfully. Our goal is to apply pressure for action, not to bully or ridicule. Let’s be strategic with our words—right now, we need help.

Let’s remain powerful, focused, and respectful in our pursuit of change.

Welcome to Issue 105 of The Continent.
We are not in Sharm El-Sheikh this week, where the world’s rich and shameless are gathered to solve the crisis of man-made climate change.
We join activists across the world and in #Africa to condemn @GovUganda's decision to halt operations of @SMUG2004, the main LGBT+ umbrella organization in the country. This is a clamp down on civic space and minority rights.
