“We started building [SMUG] when there wasn’t so much presence of social media, so we relied on communal organizations, and I think we took the strength from that.”Dr. Frank Mugisha

Countries under Authoritarian rule, most whose Democracy is in decline are picking terrible lessons from Uganda’s 3 arms of gov’t to push Anti-gender, anti-gay laws as a scapegoating tool, to the peril of their citizens. #RepealAHA23 76crimes.com/2024/04/08/con…

We still maintain that the Constitutional Court's ruling on the Anti-Homosexuality Act falls short of delivering true progress for the key populations community. While it nullified sections 3(2)(c), 9, 11(2)(d), and 14 of the Act for contravening the Constitution, the ruling…

Following the Constitutional Court’s ruling in Uganda this week which struck down several sections of the Anti-Homosexuality Act, the Global Fund is still concerned about the remaining provisions of the law.

Thank you for your solidarity Rep. Gregory Meeks
The Constitutional Court Judiciary Uganda yesterday legislated to cement State Sanctioned Homophobia and Transphobia from all 3 arms of the Ugandan Government.Unacceptable in any truly Democratic State. #RepealAHA23

'I'm deeply troubled by the news that the Anti-Homosexuality Act remains largely intact,' said Chair Senator Ben Cardin. 'The #HumanRights of all people in Uganda—including LGBTQIA+ individuals—to live free from violence & discrimination, must be protected.”⬇️

3rd April 2024,The Constitutional Court Judiciary Uganda endorsed Discrimination and exclusion of tUgandan LGBTIQ individuals.* We shall not forget*. Such dangerous precedence should not be allowed to stand in a truly Democratic society.World Bank Nicholas Opiyo (Pronouns He/Him)

The ruling on Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act is dangerous and fails to protect LGBTQI+ people & allies. The provisions of the AHA that were not overturned threaten human rights and Uganda's reputation and economy. Uganda’s government must protect the dignity of all its citizens.

Today’s verdict on Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act undermines human rights and public health for all and poses grave threats to LGBTQI+ Ugandans and allies. Uganda’s international reputation and ability to increase foreign investment depend on equality under the law.

World Bank UNAIDS Uganda Noteworthy: #Uganda 's Constitutional Court referring to Dobbs v. Jackson decision striking down right to abortion in U.S., as supportive of criminalization of #LGBTQ + communities, is abhorrent.
This is exactly the #Project2025 handbook of U.S. white, Christian extremist groups.

In Dred Scott v. Sandford,the U.S Supreme Court held the U.S. Constitution did not extend American citizenship to people of black African descent, there4 couldn't enjoy the rights and privileges the Constitution conferred upon American citizens. Poor legal reasoning, racism..etc

The Ugandan Judiciary cannot legislate the Ugandan LGBTIQ community out of existence, we shall continue to pursue all legal means to ensure that the abhorrent law is repealed in its entirety. #RepealAHA23 Our Human Rights are inherent and non negotiable. drive.google.com/file/d/1wFzUuH…

The Ugandan Judiciary cannot legislate the Ugandan LGBITQ community out of existence. [We are still here].
The Anti-Homosexuality Law will soon meet its inevitable demise and our inherent Human Rights will continue to be non-negotiable.
