Ethiopia's government took a strong move to ban same-sex relationship even between consensual same sex adult in the criminal and penal code of the country chapter 600/601 from 5-10 years hard imprisonment.
Any acts of showing this behaviour will end in imprisonment with sever corporal punishment and torture.
This in turn violate Ethiopia’s own Constitution and the analogous provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (i.e. articles 2, 3, 11, and 28) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) (i.e. articles 2, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 26).
The legislators called homosexuality an affront to Christianity and Islam. Since, this sexual orientation does not conform to the legendary tale and primitive ideology of ultraconservative society; gays and lesbians of Ethiopia prefer to live hidden behind the curtains with lack of confidence and constant fear. Ethiopia has an ever growing gay and lesbian's population from time to time; the society thinks homosexuality as a western influence (foreign import) and inexcusable sin. Therefore, gays and lesbians of Ethiopia are suffering a lot from the government's hostility. Stigma, violence, discrimination, hatred, disrespect, intimidation, abuse, harassment, negative attitude, economic deprivation social injustice, kangaroo court trial, extra-judicial killing and even worse murder. The refusal of the Ethiopian governments to address violence committed against LGBT people creates a culture of impunity where such abuses can continue and escalate unmitigated. Often, such abuses are committed by the state authorities themselves, with legal sanction.
Human rights abuses based on sexual orientation in Ethiopia violates the fundamental tenets of international human rights law which is signed & ratified by the Ethiopian government; the infliction of torture and cruel inhuman and degrading treatment (Article 5); arbitrary detention on grounds of identity or beliefs (Article 9); the restriction of freedom of association (Article 20) and the denial of the basic rights of due process of law.
In Ethiopia, if some one is discovered or even suspected to be gay, no one will shake his hand; they want you to be burned in the ever-lasting flame. Many gays and lesbians of Ethiopia have committed suicide and flee out of their country in response to this and they still fear for their lives back in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender community based human right organization is established in 2007 on the aim of engaging in the areas of advocacy, relief and development for the sexual minorities of Ethiopian and Ethiopian origin, demanding and safeguarding sexual freedom in Ethiopia.
