Government Signals Support for Stronger Anti-Discrimination Laws Protecting LGBTQ+ Citizens

The Government of Guyana has pledged stronger anti-discrimination protections for all citizens, including LGBTQ+ individuals, while maintaining its stance against same-sex marriage. Planned reforms will focus on education, healthcare, and employment, ensuring equal access to services free from prejudice. Civil society organisations continue to advocate for changes to colonial-era laws and greater inclusion. With political parties engaging in national consultations, Guyana is moving toward a more inclusive framework that prioritises equality, accountability, and protection of citizens’ rights.
