Ghana’s newly passed anti-LGBTQ criminalization bill, which allows 3-year prison sentences just for IDENTIFYING as gay, could cost the country billions in international aid if signed into law by President Akufo-Addo. https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1765062216028700785 From Reuters:
The bill could lead to a loss of $3.8 billion in World Bank financing over the next five to six years if it becomes law, derailing a $3 billion IMF loan package, the finance ministry said in a document seen by Reuters earlier on Monday.
Lawmakers on Feb. 28 unanimously passed the legislation that will intensify a crackdown on the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and those accused of promoting LGBTQ identities.
