Human rights in Mozambique

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The concept of human rights in Mozambique is an ongoing issue for the African country.

LGBT Human rights[change | change source]

Mozambique, along with other former Portuguese colonies, is one of the most LGBT-friendly African nations.[1] Polls have found moderate levels of support for LGBT rights and same-sex marriage. Nevertheless, same-sex couples are unable to marry or adopt, and LGBT people still face discrimination and prejudice.[2]
