Ghana: anti-homophobia group

By on August 16, 2011

Amidst a media frenzy over homosexuality in Ghana, human rights organisations in the country have joined together to establish a taskforce called the Coalition Against Homophobia in Ghana (CAHG).

Coalition spokesperson Mac-Darling Cobbinah said the coalition was formed to address issues of homophobia within institutions and Ghanaian society.

“Institutions, in this context, are both human rights and HIV/AIDS groups who do not honour diversity but promote hatred and call homosexuals names behind their backs,” Cobbinah said.

The Coalition has among its objectives to create a friendly rapport between the media and the LGBT community and to educate people to respect the rights of LGBT people’s privacy and human dignity.
