Description
DeLovie Kwagala, a LGBTQ Ugandan activist currently living in South Africa, fears for their life as their visa expires and they need to travel back to Uganda to renew it. Kwagala, who is non-binary, fears for her safety under a new law passed by the Ugandan parliament earlier this month, according to which anyone who "knowingly promotes homosexuality" faces up to 20 years in jail. "I escaped from Uganda, Kampala, because of the bill that has been looming over our heads for such a long time", the activist and photographer also known as Papa De says, adding that Uganda's climate means the LGBTQ community loses "people to mob justice, to corrective rape."
