KAMPALA, UGANDA - APRIL 24: A woman identifying as a lesbian makes jewellery to sell whilst at a shelter for lesbian, bisexual, and queer women on April 24, 2023 in Kampala, Uganda. The shelter aims to not only house sexual minorities, but to give the women skills training, counselling, and access to healthcare. Uganda's policymakers have yet to pass the pending anti-gay law that has caused backlash from the international community, with the hardline bill imposing capital and life-imprisonment sentences for gay sex.
