[1][2] Rightify Ghana was established in February 2020 as a non-profit organization to advocate for the rights of LGBT+ Ghanaians.
The organization seeks to mitigate harm, identify solutions, and ultimately empower sexual and gender minorities across the country.
[11] The second pillar of Rightify Ghana’s work is community empowerment, particularly capacity building and human rights education.
This means providing counseling for community members on issues ranging from accepting one’s identity to confronting homophobia, to experiencing an existential crisis.
These services aim to provide community members with the tools to live in harmony with their sexual orientation and gender identity – despite the many challenges of internalized homophobia, religious conflicts, family dynamics, etc.
