Gay in Ghana ft. The Two Twos Podcast

If You Don't Know

Jul 29 2021 • 21 mins

My mum is “scared” about me going back.

It seems like things are going down in Ghana... A new anti-gay law has been submitted to parliament, which proposes a 10-year jail sentence for people who promote LGBT+ activities. The law hasn't gone through, but it's causing outrage in the community.

In this episode, De-Graft and Roshan speak with Sweet (not her real name), a transgender woman living in Ghana, about her experience in Ghana, and Ro Frimpong, from the Two Twos Podcast, about what the draft bill will mean for her if it gets approved.

Hosts: De-Graft Mensah and Roshan Roberts Producers: Jack Suddaby and Seren Jones Sound Designer: Jack Suddaby Assistant Editor: Sam Bonham Editor: Dino Sofos
