facilitate 200 humanitarian visas for LGBTIQ* and human rights defenders* and those at high risk,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support LGBTIQ* organizations on the ground financially and politically to hold safe spaces in Uganda; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create escape corridors to nearby safer countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aidshilfe.de\/meldung\/verfolgung-lgbtqi-uganda-nothilfe-buendnis-gegruendet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release of 23.6.2023,<\/a> we also call on the federal government to impose sanctions and withdraw visas for all members of parliament, government officials and religious leaders who have supported the law, as well as to withdraw financial support for all religious organizations that call for the persecution and killing of LGBTIQ* people in Uganda.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;Anti-Homosexuality Act&#8221; of 2023<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homosexuality has been punishable in Uganda since British colonial times. While queer people in Uganda are accused of being a &#8220;product of the West,&#8221; in reality queer hostility is a &#8220;product of the West.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also in the run-up to the <strong>&#8220;Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023&#8221;<\/strong>, <strong>evangelical queer-hostile individuals from the West <\/strong>, together with religious fundamentalists*, have had a massive influence on opinion formation and have stirred up hatred towards LGBTIQ*.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uganda&#8217;s &#8220;Anti-Homosexuality Act,&#8221; which went into effect in the summer of 2023, is <strong>one of the most queer-hostile laws in the world <\/strong>. It prohibits all sexual acts between persons of the same sex and also the &#8220;promotion&#8221; or recognition of such acts.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Homosexual acts can be punished with life imprisonment and even the attempt can be punished with up to ten years in prison.<\/strong> &#8220;Aggravated homosexuality&#8221; <strong>even carries the death penalty<\/strong> &#8211; for example, if a fatal disease is transmitted as a result of the sexual act (apparently this mainly refers to HIV) or if it is a &#8220;repeat offense&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the prohibition of homosexual acts, there is the <strong>obligation to report such acts<\/strong> &#8211; just the <strong>suspicion<\/strong> that a person wants to engage in homosexual acts. Those who fail to do so risk a fine, organizations face closure.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, providing funds, media, or space to individuals or organizations for activities that &#8220;encourage&#8221; homosexuality is considered prohibited &#8220;promotion of homosexuality.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.queere-nothilfe.de\/en\/media-review-queer-emergency-uganda\/\">To the media review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading FolgenQueer\" id=\"FolgenQueer\">The consequences of the &#8220;Anti-Homosexuality Act&#8221; for queer people<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even before the Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023, homosexuality was illegal in Uganda. Again and again there was also violence against people from the LGBTIQ* community, but at least queer people were able to stand up for their rights and support each other.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, <strong>in some cases, even the death penalty is threatened<\/strong>. Und <strong>Aufkl\u00e4rung, Pr\u00e4vention und Unterst\u00fctzung f\u00fcr Menschen aus der LGBTIQ*-Community sind h\u00f6chstens noch heimlich<\/strong> m\u00f6glich und f\u00fcr alle Beteiligten sehr <strong>gef\u00e4hrlich<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already during the discussion about the law, <strong>violence against queer people increased<\/strong>. Churches are publicly saying it is okay to kill gays and lesbians to &#8220;protect&#8221; children from them.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Many LGBTIQ* people no longer dare to leave the house.<\/strong>  They can barely support themselves and no longer have access to condoms to protect themselves and others from HIV.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Worse, many queer people with HIV are no longer getting their medication<\/strong> &#8211; either because they are afraid themselves, or because clinics and organizations are afraid of being punished for &#8220;promoting homosexuality.&#8221; But if people with HIV go off their medication for a long time, it can lead to AIDS and eventually death.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.we-aid.org\/de\/initiatives-details\/36\/\">Donations for Queer Emergency Aid Uganda<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gruendungsmitglieder\">Founding members<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waldschl\u00f6sschen Academy Foundation<br\/>Aktionsb\u00fcndnis gegen Aids e.V.<br\/>Aids Action Europe<br\/>Aktionsb\u00fcndnis gegen Homophobie e.V.<br\/>AllOut Action Fund<br\/>Berliner Aids-Hilfe e.V.<br\/>BiBerlin e.V.<br\/>BiNe &#8211; Bisexual Network e.
