#LGBQTILife "The Botswana decriminalisation must be followed by implementation"
Botswana has decriminalised gay sex. The country’s court of appeal upheld a 2019 ruling of decriminalisation. The unanimous decision by five judges stated that criminalisation violated the constitutional rights of LGBQTIA+ people. Members of the gay community hailed the ruling as sign of true democracy in the country. The Daily Vox spoke to Monica Tabengwa, a lawyer and researcher from Botswana who specialises in LGBT issues in sub-Saharan Africa.
