Lawmakers from more than a dozen African countries pledge to advance new legislation limiting LGBT rights following a conference in Ghana, according to multiple reports. The African Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family Values and Sovereignty is described as a meeting held in Accra on June 3–6. Participants reportedly included self-described “pro-family” activists and lawmakers from across Africa and Europe. Following the conference, attendees say they will support bills that further restrict LGBT rights in their respective countries. One outlet also characterizes the event as part of a wider trend toward stricter anti-LGBT laws in parts of Africa. Participants link this broader push to influence from conservative figures in the United States and Europe, and the conference is presented as a platform for coordinating similar policy approaches. The reports focus on the lawmakers’ commitment to pursuing new restrictions after the Ghana meeting; they do not describe specific draft provisions, enforcement details, or which countries will introduce legislation. Overall, the sources depict the conference as a catalyst for renewed legislative efforts aimed at LGBT rights restrictions.
