The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stated that it is monitoring events in Ghana following the passage of the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill by Parliament.
Commonly referred to as the Anti-LGBTQ bill, the legislation aims to criminalize LGBTQ+ activities, as well as their promotion, advocacy, and funding.
We embrace diversity and inclusion – IMF cautions Ghana against anti-LGBTQ bill
The bill’s passage has already drawn criticism from various stakeholders and civil society organizations, including the United States Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia Evelyn Palmer.
However, in a statement issued by the IMF and reported by Bloomberg, the global lender emphasized that its internal policies prohibit discrimination based on personal characteristics, including gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation.
The IMF noted that, “Diversity and inclusion are values that the IMF embraces.”
