The High Court has declared the common law offences of sodomy and unnatural sexual offences unconstitutional, marking a historic victory for LGBTI rights in Namibia. This landmark ruling, initiated by activist Friedel Dausab, is a significant step towards ending discrimination and affirming constitutional rights. It aligns Namibia with global human rights standards, and civil society organisations are committed to working with the government to ensure its effective implementation and further protection of LGBTI rights.
