Human Rights Violations Against Uganda's LGBTQ Community

Uganda's LGBTQ community faces escalating human rights violations, with over 1000 cases recorded in the last nine months, including arrests, torture, and house evictions following the enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Act.

Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act

The Constitutional Court of Uganda declined to overturn the country’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, leaving most of the legislation intact but striking some passages that required citizens to report LGBTQ+ people to the police. Human rights violations against LGBT+ persons in Uganda are expected to increase as a result of this decision.
