Namibia's high court overturned a law that criminalized consensual gay sex, a victory for LGBTQ+ campaigners in Africa.
Friedel Dausab, a Namibian LGBTQ+ activist involved in the case, expressed relief at the decision, stating he no longer felt like a criminal in his own country.
UNAids highlighted the impact of the law in fueling discrimination against LGBTQ+ Namibians in healthcare and the positive impact of the court ruling on encouraging HIV testing and treatment.
Anne Githuku-Shongwe from UNAids emphasized that by decriminalizing same-sex relationships, Namibia is creating a safer environment for LGBTQ+ communities.
