The human rights group, Amnesty International has called on the Ghanaian parliament and the government to immediately withdraw the proposed Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Value Bill 2021 from consideration.

According to Amnesty International Country Director, the bill gravely contravenes the principles of equality and nondiscrimination”, 

Speaking during a news conference on Wednesday, he said the proposed bill denies the LGBTQI+ persons their inviolable human dignity guaranteed to all persons under Section 15 clause 1 of the country’s Constitution.

Lawyer, Akoto Ampaw who led the news conference echoed Amnesty international’s demand.
