Ghana’s parliament has approved one of Africa’s most restrictive anti-LGBTQ laws, reviving controversial legislation that imposes prison terms for same-sex relations and support for LGBTQ activities, despite strong criticism from human rights groups and international organisations.
Ghana's parliament passed the Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, imposing up to 5 years in prison for LGBTQ advocacy, pending presidential signature. For tech firms operating or hiring in Ghana, the law creates DEI compliance risks and potential reputational exposure with global stakeholders.
