In a significant gathering aimed at addressing pressing human rights concerns, religious leaders from various faiths convened at the True Vine Hotel in Kumasi for a two-day dialogue from November 20-21, 2024, organized by the Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana).
The discussions centered on the controversial Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021, which seeks to criminalize LGBTQ+ identities and activities, raising alarms among human rights advocates.
Facilitated by key figures such as Dr.
Michael Augustus Akagbor, Senior Programs Officer at CDD-Ghana, and William Nyarko, Executive Director of the Centre for International Law and Accountability (ACILA), the event sought to illuminate the complexities of human rights as they pertain to sexual minorities.
