Tearing down of iconic statutes may be symbolic but with a profound meaning. It is questioning the dominant historical narrative that we have been fed and brought up on. It is a call for building counter-hegemonies in the struggle for freedom &emancipation from oppressive system.

“COVID-19 reveals that exclusion is not a way out, because if one segment of society is denied access to food or running water, an essential component of the fight against COVID, the entire society is placed at risk.” - Faisal Garba of UCT, PCT researcher

“Because anticolonial struggles in Ghana and Tanzania were made up of workers, peasants, unemployed, urban and rural, different ethnic identities...the outlook of these movements were more broad and all inclusive.” - Faisal Garba of UCT, PCT researcher

The lead lawyer for the President in the 2020 Election Petition, Lawyer Akoto Ampaw and other lawyers and professors have filed a memorandum to Parliament to reject the Bill that criminalizes LGBTQ+ activities. It is signed by 15 lawyers, professors and members of the academia.

“That statement, with all due respect to our traditional rulers, stigmatizes the being and identity of LGBTQ+ persons and denies them their humanity. It directly violates Article 15 (1) of the Constitution which provides that “The dignity of all persons shall be inviolable.”

Important statement against the narrow, discriminatory and hate filled homophobic bill sent before the Parliament of Ghana.

Prof Takyiwaa Manuh to the world! What brilliant. What boldness. #Newsfile

Excitedly looking forward to this… #WhenWomenSpeak #TwitterGhana
