On Dr Rita Nketiah’s undercover finding at the 2019 World Congress of Families (WCF) in Accra: “I felt surrounded by people ready for war”
On how to raise awareness: “Don’t let it fall out of the public eye”
On why this matter is so urgent: “No LGBTQIA people are free until all of us are free”
On how to help: “Become familiar with how our own Western political leaders and religious groups are pushing and benefitting from such agendas”
