A Global Pandemic That Needs A Global Input

May 01, 2024

The non binary world is being hit from all sides...

The non binary world is being hit from all sides. The Transgender community, kids or adults are screaming for possible solutions; and this is happening entirely in all parts of the world. 


From even those countries and places we think that are championing human rights for all. This is no longer a battle for some and a walk over for the rest. 


This is not a worry to Africa or Asia, Europe or the North Americans. It's a world pandemic that needs a uniformed approach.


Let's take a quick look at what is happening in Africa. Anti-homosexuality laws are being drafted, billed and passed by lots of African states now. These are laws that are targeting a whole group of homosexuals on the continent regardless of your status in the country.


You don't have to be a citizen of a certain African state to feel the crueles of this. However, being present as a visitor, tourist, student, Refugee or asylum seeker in such a country makes you criminalised immediately as long as you identify as gay. 

Ohhh yes, this becomes terribly bad when it gets to the transgender and or the non binary. Being so easily spotted, targeted and physically identified makes us more prey to this wrath more than ever.


Africa turning her back against the her own, against her children in the name of cultural norms and heritage, religion, and social norms is a huge dismay and disappointment. Our legislators using us to fight, discriminate and kill among our selves only makes the entire world not safe for anyone to stay in harmony. 


Moreover, getting displaced on the very continent that raised you or where you belong for simply identifying differently or believing in what your government has marked and labelled as unjust.


This is generally why we are seeing a lot of queer becoming refugees in different parts of the world and the most heartbreaking is the fact that most are still getting displaced on the very same continent that's hunting them from all sides.


These humans are left with a sole option of seeking asylum in neighbouring countries from their home countries whenever the situation gets unsafe for them. 


Bad enough, they only find themselves in situations similar to what they are running from their home countries simply because the new trend on the continent is to eliminate homosexuality, perpetuated directly from governments, legislatures, community and religious leaders. 


All these are highly respected entities in the African setting making it easy for all country men and women believe that identifying as queer, as gay, as non binary, as transgender is the leading and only problem that Africa has and keeping us in all sorts of challenges faced by the world like global warming, outbreaks of epidemics, corruption, hunger, and alot more.


This brings us to a close look of what's happening in Asia, Europe, Australia and North America. Not underlooking even those places that everyone could get so proud of waving the human rights flag higher amongst all. We are all facing injustices in different perspectives of life.


 We all need a uniform voice to put a stop to this kind of growing insanity. This isn't a life we chose for ourselves but rather it's a way of living that's simply being dictated over us by those we trusted with power, trust and hope.


They're starving, in exile, and some others are burning out in their closets. 


As mentioned earlier, it's not a battle for Africa but a battle for every human being on the planet because indeed injustice here is injustice everywhere.
