Last February, Outright launched a Ukraine Fund because in times of crisis, LGBTIQ people face high risks. LGBTIQ people are often left behind in humanitarian relief efforts. At best, this may be to a lack of cultural competency, and at worst, LGBTIQ people may be intentionally excluded from aid because of systemic discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.

The clampdown on LGBTIQ rights by political leaders and religious fundamentalists in the West African country resulted in the introduction of a draconian anti-LGBTIQ bill before the country’s Parliament in 2021. This report, which is the result of an ongoing collaboration between Outright International and Rightify Ghana, concluded that the bill has created an unsafe environment for LGBTIQ persons, leading to severe human rights violations by law enforcement and members of the general public.
