Description

In this episode, we're focusing on the LGBTQI+ community and the limits on their right to protest around the world. 


Jo Glanville speaks to Rita Nketiah, a queer feminist activist in Ghana, about the tabling of a draconian private member’s bill which will introduce a five-year sentence for anyone identifying as LGBTQI+, and imposes a duty for all Ghanaians to denounce members of the community, which also carries a five-year sentence.


Nicola Kelly speaks to Marko Mihailović, a leading LGBTQI+ activist based in Belgrade who successfully ran the city's campaign to host the pan-European EuroPride in 2022. He describes the atmosphere in the lead-up to the event and crackdowns on the community from far-right groups, religious groups and other opponents, which initially led to the cancellation of the march.
