Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, enacted in 2023, has led to a significant surge in human rights abuses, including arbitrary arrests, evictions, beatings, and denial of healthcare for LGBTIQ+ individuals. Human Rights Watch (HRW) documents a wave of violence and discrimination, particularly against transgender people and those perceived to be gay. The law’s vague language enables police abuse and social persecution. HRW urges the Ugandan government to repeal the law and protect LGBTIQ+ citizens from violence and state-sponsored discrimination.
