[Watch Video]- This Is the Reason We have an Office In Ghana- LGBTQI+ Director- Alex Kofi Donkor

One hot trending topic in Ghana at the moment is the issue related to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexuals, Transgender, and Queer Individuals (LGBTQI). Director of LGBTQI+ Rights in Ghana, Alex Kofi Donkor, has asked Ghanaians to look at issues relating to LGBTQI, as human rights issues.

In an interview with TV3, He told the host Miriam Osei Agyemang on the Mid day news on Friday February 19 that persons who are identified as LGBTQI are verbally and physically attacked in the country.

This, he said, must stop because they have fundamental human rights that must be respected and protected by society.

Explaining the reasons behind the setup of an LGBTQI office in Ghana, he said “We created an office space where we talk about issues which affect us as a community and ways in which we can resolve the issues.

Let me quickly say in this country a lot of times we do experience a lot of violence and abuse that are perpetrated towards people who are identified as LGBTQI or people who are perceived as LGBTQI persons.

When this violence is perpetrated against such people it goes unattended to, people do that with impunity.
