Western Imperialism or colonial heritage? – to the history and current situation of LGBTI rights in Uganda <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lately, the dangerous situation for homosexuals in Uganda has been very present in the media, due to the new anti-gay bill signed by President Museveni. As a reaction, the World Bank and western countries such as the US and the Netherlands have announced to freeze their financial aid to the state of Uganda. This reinforces the broad idea in Ugandan society, that LGBTI rights are a damaging export product of western imperialism. Meanwhile the German state keeps rejecting the big majority of refugees that apply for asylum because of persecution based on sexual orientation.
\nWhat are the new grades of persecution within this law and what is the context and history of it? What has been the situation until now for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersexual people, on a legal level and on the level of society? And how has it been before the British colonization?
\nThese and other questions we would like to discuss with three refugees from Uganda, together with an activist of the “International Women Space” (IWS).
\nWhen: Wednesday, March 26th, 7pm

\nWestlicher Imperialismus oder koloniales Erbe? – zur Geschichte und aktuellen Situation der Rechte von LGBTI in Uganda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anl\u00e4sslich der Unterzeichnung des neuen Anti-Homosexuellen-Gesetz durch Pr\u00e4sident Museveni ist die gef\u00e4hrliche Situation von Homosexuellen in Uganda in der letzten Zeit verst\u00e4rkt in den medialen Fokus ger\u00fcckt. Als Reaktion darauf wurde seitens der Weltbank sowie westlichen Staaten wie den USA und Niederlanden angek\u00fcndigt, finanzielle Hilfsleistungen an den ugandischen Staat auszusetzen. Dies wiederum best\u00e4rkt die vorherrschende Auffassung in der ugandischen Gesellschaft, die Rechte von LGBTI Menschen sei ein sch\u00e4dliches Exportprodukt des westlichen Imperialismus. W\u00e4hrenddessen wird in Deutschland weiterhin die gro\u00dfe Mehrheit an Gefl\u00fcchteten, die wegen der Verfolgung aufgrund ihrer sexuellen Orientierung Asyl beantragen, abgelehnt.
\nWorin besteht die neue Qualit\u00e4t der Verfolgung durch dieses Gesetz, was ist der Kontext und die Vorgeschichte? Wie war die Situation bisher f\u00fcr Lesben, Schwule, Bisexuelle, Transmenschen und Intersexuelle in Uganda, sowohl auf der rechtlichen als auch auf der gesellschaftlichen Ebene? Und wie war das vor der Britischen Kolonisierung?
\nDiese und weitere Fragen m\u00f6chten wir diskutieren mit drei Fl\u00fcchtlingen aus Uganda, sowie mit einer Aktivistin aus dem “International Women Space”.<\/div>\n
