In December 2013, the Ugandan Parliament passed its notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill, a hate-filled piece of legislation that threatens the safety and lives of LGBT Ugandans and is a grave violation of human rights. Now, the bill is at risk of being signed into law by Ugandan President Museveni.
We need your help!
On Monday, February 10th 2014, our partners in Ugandaa coalition of 50 Ugandan Human Rights organizationsare calling for a Global Day of Action Against the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Human rights organizations, activists and leaders across the globe will be convening actions, circulating petitions and blasting social media with messages to urge President Museveni not to sign this bill into law.
