On Friday, May 29, 2026, the Parliament of Ghana passed the controversial Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, establishing stringent penalties for both the country’s LGBTQ community and individuals or entities that advocate on their behalf.

The legislative document, which was introduced as a private member’s bill and strongly backed by a coalition of religious and traditional leaders, significantly expands the scope of criminal offences and penalties relating to sexual orientation and gender identity.

Under the provisions of the newly approved legislation, individuals found guilty of engaging in LGBTQ acts face custodial sentences ranging from six months to three years.

Furthermore, the legal definitions have been broadened to criminalise the act of simply identifying as LGBTQ.

The Facebook post announcing the bill's passage is below:

Strict penalties targeted at advocacy and promotion

The Bill places strong emphasis on suppressing support networks and public discussion. Individuals or organisations convicted of the “wilful promotion, sponsorship, or support of LGBTQ activities” face custodial sentences of three to five years.

For broader categories involving the production, procurement, or distribution of materials deemed to promote such activities, prison terms range from six to ten years.

Educational settings are also affected, with a six-to-ten-year prison sentence stipulated for anyone who teaches children about LGBTQ activities or instructs them that there are more genders than the traditional male and female binary.

Furthermore, liability is extended to property owners and digital platform administrators.

Under the new provisions, individuals who own, manage, or occupy physical premises or digital spaces where prohibited groups organise may face up to six years in prison.
