When the High Court decriminalizes sodomy in June 2024, and MHSS_Namibia continues to deny prisoners access to condoms and basic healthcare, all based on their homophobic approach to governance. You really got to be worried that your rights and wellbeing are at the helm of hate.

Something really empowering to have a government respect the rule of law & the process of democracy. While πΏπ¦ awaits constitutionality of criminalization of sex work, π³π¦ continues to use sodomy law as basis of discrimination- even while the victory of High Court heads for appeal


Imagine that. A room full of government civil servants and ministerial stakeholders, those entrusted to ensure all Namibians have access to justice, healthcare and all other basic services, laughing as if subjugating someone to a life threatening virus is a joke. Namibian Presidency

Grateful 4 opportunity to be part of 20th cohort of Global Campus of Human Rights Summer School in Cinema, Human Rights & Advocacy. Got to explore cinema/film as tool for human rights education/advocacy. Excited to return home & workshop documentary ideas shedding light on LGBTQI+ civil rights









From a recent Afrobarometer survey conducted more than half (51%) of Namibians say they are tolerant towards their homosexual neighbors. So why are our Polticians passing unconstitutional anti-LGBTQI+ laws over bread/butter issues. Parliament of Namibia afrobarometer.org/?p=32653
