Title
Resolution text
From line 1 to 23:
The LGBTQIA+ of community is under attack around the world with growing rates worldwide of violence and hate speech as well as homophobia and transphobia directly aimed at the community.
Despite international outrage, the president of Uganda signed the “Anti-Homosexuality Act” on May 26th 2023. It heavily restricts freedom of speech with regards to human rights of queer people and criminalises certain same-sex acts even with the death penalty. Further, The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has described the international ‘gender critical movement’ as genocidal: “the gender critical movement simultaneously denies that transgender identity is real and seeks to eradicate it completely from society.”
We call on the Global Greens to:
.
Immediately condemn the anti-gay legislation, and the threat of the death sentence recently introduced in Uganda, and call on the Ugandan government to immediately reverse this decision
Create (where they do not already exist) LGBTQIA+ liberation (representative) groups within member parties and federations/states
Seek to introduce legislation (where elected representatives are able) to enable LGBTQIA+ hate crimes to be prosecuted and recorded specifically
Commit to challenging homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and all and any forms of discrimination within the Green movement and around the world
To uphold the resolution made at 2017’s global congress to advance LGBTQIA+ rights and commit to continual progress of LGBTQIA+ equality.
We, the Global Greens:
-Condemn the threat of criminalization, imprisonment and death sentence recently introduced in the Ugandan law, and call on the Ugandan government to immediately review this decision.
