According to Human Rights Watch, a majority of African countries still consider homosexual acts a crime and, in some cases, punishable by death. We talk to a LGBT rights activist from Cameroon, and get an update on Human Rights Watch’s efforts to safeguard gay rights in Africa and around the world.

Guests:

Boris Dittrich, advocacy director for the LGBT Rights Program at Human Rights Watch

Steave Nemande, medical doctor and president of the human rights organization Alternatives-Camaroun
