Progressive jurisprudence strengthens inclusion and promotes the health and development of marginalized populations, including LGBTQI+ people and HIV key populations, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The Africa Regional Judges Forum is a community of senior judges from across Africa who share information, experiences and resources on jurisprudence relating to HIV, health law and the human rights of marginalized populations. Marking 10 years of the Forum, this week’s gathering, supported by UNDP’s #WeBelongAfrica programme, SALC and Women’s Link Worldwide, will reflect on past lessons, discuss progressive jurisprudence, and strategize for the future. With the steadfast support of UNDP, SALC and other partners, the African Regional Judges’ Forum has grown from an initial gathering of 11 senior judges to over 120 participants, reflecting the increasing commitment to judicial leadership in advancing human rights and health for all. #HumanRights #Health4All

UNDP applauds the decision of the High Court of Namibia to strike down anti-LGBTQI+ colonial-era laws. The landmark judgment sends a powerful message that all Namibian citizens, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, have fundamental rights and equality under the law. Decriminalizing same-sex relations builds a more inclusive and tolerant society, contributing to the achievement of the SDGs and the pledge to leave no one behind.  UNDP in Namibia Full statement: https://lnkd.in/e7d3G5w8
