Law lecturer and fierce critic of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) movement, Moses Foh-Amoaning, has said that there is an active strategy by the LGBT movement to get acceptance – especially in Africa, where resistance has been most strong.
“[The strategy] is always not open for you to see. It is very subliminal and they come in all sorts of ways…they have noticed that in Africa, our culture and our religion, we are very strong so they are going through education. Education is strong because if you win the mind then you can win the heart,” he said in an interview on Happy FM’s Epa Hoa Daben show with Kwame Afrifa-Mensah.
Foh-Amoaning also questions why children at six are to learn about “Being Male or Female” under “Knowing Myself”. “Kwame, is there any confusion about being a male or female,in Ghana now ?” he asked.
Beginning next year, pupils in all public schools, including five-year-olds, will be taught Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE).
Ghana and the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) launched the CSE programme this year in a bid to empower adolescents and young people to deepen their scope of existing activities to attain a Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE).
Known as the “Our right, Our lives, Our Future (O³), CSE is supported by the governments of Sweden and Ireland.
It is being implemented in Ghana, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe for effective delivery of quality comprehensive sexuality programmes.
