The Continental Update with Raymond Monde Motadi
Loading player...
For today’s Continental Update, we shift focus to rising human rights and governance tensions across parts of Africa, with a specific lens on LGBTQ+ rights and public policy.
We will be joined by activist Raymond Monde Motadi, a queer rights advocate working across African communities. Raymond will help us unpack the implications of Ghana’s recently advanced anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, which has sparked widespread concern from human rights organisations and LGBTQ+ communities both within and outside the country.
The conversation will explore what the bill could mean in practical terms from criminalisation and social exclusion to broader questions about civic rights, safety, and freedom of expression across the continent.
We also briefly touch on the wider regional climate, where LGBTQ+ rights remain heavily contested in several African countries.
