LGBTQ+ news and education updates across Africa

Looking for reliable coverage on LGBTQ+ issues in Africa? This tag collects news, policy updates, school stories, and community reports that affect queer people, families, and educators across the continent. You’ll find legal developments, classroom inclusion updates, health access stories, and personal perspectives from the region.

What we cover

We track court rulings, new laws, and government policies that change life for LGBTQ+ people. That includes school policies on anti-bullying and inclusive curricula, university campus debates, and training for teachers. We also report on access to health services, local activism, and high-profile incidents that shape public discussion.

Our pieces aren't just headlines. Expect explainers that break down what a court decision means for students, how a change in school policy will affect teachers, and how health clinics are handling sexual orientation and gender identity in practice. We aim to make complex legal or education topics easy to understand.

How to use this tag

Scan the latest stories to track ongoing cases or policy shifts. Use it to find examples for school discussions, briefings, or community meetings. If you want updates only on education, try sorting by keywords like 'school', 'university', or 'curriculum' in our search bar. You can bookmark the tag or subscribe to our newsletter to get new stories sent to your inbox.

We also publish practical guides. For teachers, you might find classroom tips on supporting LGBTQ+ students. For parents, there are pieces about navigating conversations with schools and understanding students' rights. For activists, expect coverage of campaigns and how they affect local education systems.

If you live in a place where being openly queer can be risky, read our content with caution. Use private browsing, and avoid sharing identifiable info in comments. We include safety tips in relevant stories and name local support groups where available. Protecting readers and sources is a priority.

Want to share a tip or a local story? Send it through our contact form. We verify reports before publishing. If you prefer to stay anonymous, tell us how to reach out securely; we can handle sensitive leads carefully.

Looking for resources beyond news? We often link to community organisations, legal aid groups, and educational toolkits in articles. Names commonly mentioned include regional human rights networks and groups focused on school inclusion — check each article for up-to-date resources and contacts.

We know context matters. A policy change in one country may not apply elsewhere, so articles always state where rules apply and who is affected. That makes it easier to see how a local development might influence regional trends in rights and education.
