Arrestation de lesbiennes présumées : L'association Stop Homophobie réagit
In Senegal, the fight against homosexuality has reached a new level of repression. Since the adoption last March of a law toughening penalties for "unnatural" acts, more than a hundred men have been arrested. Last week, eight women were also arrested for similar reasons and subsequently remanded in custody.
For Inès Sanoussi, director in France of the helpline for the French association "Stop Homophobia"—a service dedicated to Senegal that has received over a thousand calls since February—this development marks a worrying turning point. She points out that while men have historically been the primary target of law enforcement, women were more exposed to domestic or private violence. The widespread use of police repression against women further exacerbates their situation, especially since they often have less financial independence and freedom of movement to flee or relocate.
Faced with this intensified "hunt", more and more people are seeking to leave the national territory, turning in particular to neighbouring countries such as Cape Verde, in a quest for asylum and security that has become increasingly complex.
