The LGBTI community of Uganda is treated to some of the worst discrimination – both institutional and cultural – in the world. Anti-LGBTI laws are wide-ranging and include up to the death penalty. Newspapers regularly “out” people publicly against their will and violence is common.

Dr. Frank Mugisha has been the most prominent voice for Uganda’s LGBT community for decades. Frank has won the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award and Thorolf Rafto Memorial Prize for his activism.
