African LGBTQ+ activism

African LGBTQ+ activism involves efforts by individuals and organizations to promote the rights, acceptance, and safety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people across the continent. Due to cultural, religious, and legal challenges, activists often work underground or in limited spaces, advocating for decriminalization, anti-discrimination laws, and social acceptance. Despite risks, their work highlights issues like violence, inequality, and human rights, seeking to build visibility and support for LGBTQ+ communities in diverse African societies.
