The post Uganda’s anti-LGBTQ+ law preventing people from accessing healthcare appeared first on GCN. The extreme anti-LGBTQ+ legislation passed in Uganda last year is having severe consequences on the lives of LGBTQ+ people in the country, including making it impossible for them to access adequate healthcare.
The law is a violation of the fundamental human rights of LGBTIQ people in Uganda. “African Rainbow Family sees this law as again, an assault and added layer of State and non-State agents’ persecution of Ugandan LGBTIQ community,” it told CNN.
The bill, adopted by Uganda’s Parliament on 21 March, proposes the death penalty for the offence of aggravated homosexuality, life imprisonment for the “offence of homosexuality”, up to 14 years for attempted homosexuality, and up to 20 years in jail for promoting homosexuality. It now awaits the President’s signature to become law.
