It’s quite rare that we are able to bring you good news stories about LGBTI rights from Africa – but now we can! In the west of central Africa is a country, after centuries of Portuguese colonisation, Angola has set about not just removing colonial sodomy laws but bringing new laws to protect the LGBTI community.
- What was the surprise addition to the law that decriminalised homosexuality in Angola?
- How is international influence helping to drive these changes?
- What does it take to be an out and proud activist speaking up for the LGBTI community in Africa?
For our first time visiting Angola, to give us an insight into LGBT life in Angola we were joined by Imanni Da Silva – a Trans activist in Angola.
