Sources of anxiety about (and among) sexual minorities in Africa
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
There is a perceived increase in incidents of rhetoric, legislation and vigilantism against sexual minorities and their allies across Africa. This ‘African homophobia’ is counter to human rights conventions, public health best practices and sound economic development. The paper reviews areas of progress as well as the broad economic and cultural contexts for the experiences of African sexual minorities.
