OutRight Action International Welcomes Repeal of Anti-LGBTQ Law in St. Kitts and Nevis
New York, New York - August 29, 2022 - OutRight Action International, a global human rights organization dedicated to improving the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ) people, today welcomed a ruling from St. Kitts and Nevis' High Court of Justice striking down Section 56 and 57 of the Offences Against The Person Act. This colonial-era law criminalizes same-sex relations between consenting (adult) men making them punishable with up to ten years of imprisonment with potential for hard labor. While Sections 56 and 57 are seldom enforced, it has served as a form of government-endorsed discrimination, contributing to harassment and violence against sexual and gender minorities. This decision, stemming from a constitutional challenge filed by St. Kitts and Nevis Alliance for Equality, comes on the heels of a similar case in Antigua and Barbuda in which that country's "buggery" law was declared unconstitutional in July.

The legal advocates filed a lawsuit challenging the law on July 25, 2022.
