    The Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has organised a two-day workshop at Koforidua in the Eastern Region, aimed at fostering social dialogue on human rights protection for sexual minorities.

    The event brought together approximately 40 religious and faith-based leaders from various ministries, including Redemption Hour Faith Ministries, Love Mission Chapel, Methodist Wesley Cathedral, Winners Chapel, Christ Revival, Covenant Restoration, and Eastgate Sanctuary.

    Mr William Nyarko, the Resource Person and Executive Director of the Africa Center for International Law Accountability (ACILA), said CDD-Ghana was spearheading efforts to safeguard the fundamental human rights of all Ghanaians, as outlined in the country’s 1992 Constitution. 

    He said the participation of faith-based leaders in such discussions would enhance their understanding of human rights principles and contribute to the creation of a safer and more just society. Addressing the issue of privacy, Mr Nyarko pointed out that sensitive matters, such as a pastor publicly revealing a congregant’s spiritual struggles, should be handled with discretion, as the constitution guaranteed individuals the right to privacy.

    Dr Nuworza Kugbey, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Environment and Sustainable Development, reiterated that human rights were inherent to all individuals, irrespective of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, language, or religion.  He elaborated on key principles such as equality and non-discrimination, emphasising that no person should face discrimination based on characteristics such as sexual orientation, disability, or political affiliation.

    Further, public authorities must uphold non-discriminatory practices in the implementation of laws, policies, and programmes, he said. Dr Kugbey urged religious and faith-based leaders to be mindful of the influence their declarations hold within society, advising them to align their perspectives with fundamental human rights principles.

    The Very Reverend John Peprah, the Superintendent Minister of the Koforidua Circuit of The Methodist Church Ghana, encouraged religious leaders to adhere to the provisions of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution to uphold and protect the rights of all individuals. Following the workshop, participants expressed appreciation for the initiative, stating that it had deepened their understanding of human rights.

    They pledged to apply their newfound knowledge in their congregations to promote inclusivity and respect for all individuals.
