30th May 2025 marked the second year since the Anti- Homosexuality Act, Cap 117 officially came into force on 30th May 2023. In the two years of the Act, HRAPF has continued to monitor and document cases of human rights violations and violence against LGBTIQ persons based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity in Uganda on a monthly basis. This is the 24th such monthly report. The report discusses cases in which known or suspected LGBTIQ persons were targeted for violence and violations purely on the basis of their SOGIE as reported in the month of May 2025, and comparison is made with the month of April 2025. The report also presents an analysis of trends in cases of violence and violations against individuals on the basis of their SOGIE from the date when the Act first came into force to the 30th of May 2025, to demonstrate the continuing impact of the AHA on the lives of LGBTQ persons as well as the distribution of cases of violence and violations as recorded by HRAPF during the period.
