Education is a fundamental human right and a critical pathway to personal development and economic empowerment. However, queer youths in Ghana face significant barriers in accessing quality education due to discrimination, stigma, and legal restrictions. The socio-cultural environment, compounded by the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2021,exacerbates marginalization, leading to high dropout rates, mental health challenges, and limited opportunities for academic and professional advancement.

Ghana, as a signatory to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is committed to ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education (SDG 4). Yet, the exclusion and discrimination faced by Queer youth contradict this commitment. Addressing these barriers is crucial to fostering an inclusive education system that upholds human rights and equal opportunities for all.

Young queer students in Ghana experience systemic discrimination, including bullying, exclusion from educational institutions, and lack of support services. Fear of exposure and violence forces many to abandon their education, limiting their prospects and deepening economic inequality. The absence of inclusive policies further isolates queer youth from educational resources, restricting their ability to contribute meaningfully to national development.

In this episode we sit with experts, activists, and individuals with lived experiences, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives
