Gender And Non-Normative Sex In Sub-Saharan Africa, Johanna Bond
Gender And Non-Normative Sex In Sub-Saharan Africa, Johanna Bond
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Article argues for the adoption of a gender-based framework to supplement rights promotion strategies and campaigns based on LGBTI identity.

A focus on gender rights as supplementary to and interrelated with LGBTI rights offers both conceptual and pragmatic benefits in the struggle to promote …

These “Hester-type laws” are strikingly similar to the Colorado amendment struck down by the Romer v. Evans Court 20 years ago. Both the Colorado amendment and the new wave …
