Early in November, the World Congress of Families (WCF) held its regional conference in Accra, Ghana. Don’t let the seemingly wholesome name fool you — the WCF is a central player in the global export of an anti-choice and anti-LGBTQ agenda across the globe.
The organisation is well-financed, well-connected and influential, and has a long history of successful lobbying across the world. This latest gathering in Ghana, although not its biggest or best-attended event, should be setting off alarm bells.
