Ghana's parliament passed the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill on May 29, 2026, imposing prison terms of up to 10 years for promoting LGBTQ activities and up to three years for same-sex relations, with the bill now awaiting President Mahama's signature. The law, backed by near-unanimous political and public support but opposed by international human rights bodies, threatens up to $3.8 billion in World Bank financing and could disrupt HIV/AIDS programs serving 330,000 Ghanaians living with HIV.
