Africa: Human rights groups propose monetary support for lgbti cases

As arrests of people on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity escalate in Africa, some human rights groups have come up with a plan to challenge such arrests at a legal strategy meeting on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) held last month in Cape Town. International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) in collaboration with Global Rights, Interights and The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ Kenya) convened this meeting with a view to discuss strategies that could be used to defend cases against LGBTI people in the continent.
