London, UK. 11th March, 2024. LGBT+ campaigners from the African Equality Foundation attend a protest opposite Westminster Abbey coordinated by the Peter Tatchell Foundation to coincide with leaders of thirty Commonwealth countries arriving for a Commonwealth 75th anniversary service. Protesters called on all Commonwealth governments to decriminalise same-sex relations, to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, to enforce laws against threats and violence and to protect LGBT+ people from hate crimes, and to consult with LGBT+ organisations. 30 out of 56 Commonwealth countries still criminalise homosexuality.
