I am currently studying a law degree specifically on Gender, Sexuality and Human Rights, and for my dissertation I have chosen to look at the barriers to human rights faced by sexual minorities in post-colonial Africa. I am interested in learning more about your experiences and the barriers you face to human rights - whatever the rights. For example, whether it's the right to live a private life, the rights to housing, education and health services (including HIV AIDS education and services). I am aware that many of your laws are still based on the laws from the days of colonial rule, but I am interested to know how much influence religion plays in changing these laws or drafting new ones. Do you think international human rights mechanisms (such as the UN) can help you, or should the fight for rights come from within your country or Africa? If you want to share any information with me, please be assured that I will keep all your details completely confidential. In fact you don't have to give me your name - just let me know your country, age, gender and how you define your sexuality.
