[Image Description: Screenshots of an instagram post by the accounts lgbtrightsghana, justright.ghana and others. The post is an image of a hand waving the flag of Ghana under text that says: "Ghana is legalising the wiping of its LGBT+ population. The world is silent." The description of the post reads:
On 29 May 2026, Ghana's Parliament passed a law criminalising LGBT+ people, their allies, their advocates, and anyone who refuses to look away. It has been two days. Not one makor government has issued a statement. Not one international institution has picked up the phone loud enough for anyone to hear.
This is what abandonment looks like. It does not always come with an announcement. Sometimes it just looks like silence on a weekend while people's lives get dismantled.
The UK is about to host Ghana's President at an investment summit in London. The EU has active partnerships with Accra. The IMF has an ongoing programme with Ghana. The African Union exists. The UN exists. And yet the loudest sound coming from any of them right now is nothing.
LGBT+ Ghanaians are not a talking point. They are people who woke up on Friday to a parliament that voted to make them criminals. They are people who are right now calculating whether they are safe, whether their landlord will use this law, whether their employer will, whether their family will. That calculation is happening in real tome while the world decides whether this is worth a statement.
The world is silent. That silence is a choice. And history will record who made it.
