ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Innocentia
Chinagorom
Ubani

Bisexual woman • Advocate for equality and human rights

I, Innocentia Chinagorom Ubani, a bisexual woman, stand in absolute opposition to Nigeria's institutionalized and state-sponsored homophobia, including the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act.

These laws rob LGBTQIA+ Nigerians of their humanity and open the door to state-backed violence, systemic extortion, and ongoing persecution.

With local avenues for justice constrained by prejudice, I am taking this fight to the global stage.

THE AUTHOR'S POSITION

Taking the conversation to the global stage.

Over the coming days, I will formally petition three major international bodies concerning the treatment and legal position of sexual minorities in Nigeria.

International Criminal Court

I will ask the Office of the Prosecutor to investigate Nigeria's systemic targeting of sexual minorities as a potential Crime Against Humanity.

African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights

I will bring this matter forward to challenge domestic laws that breach continental human rights standards under the African Charter.

UN Human Rights Committee

I will file an individual communication detailing how Nigeria is violating the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

A CALL FOR ACCOUNTABILITY

“Targeting people for who they are and who they love violates international law.”

Those responsible for enforcing policies that enable discrimination and persecution must face individual accountability.

Sincerely, Innocentia Chinagorom Ubani
