This note was written by the Human Dignity Trust in reaction to the passing of the Non-Governmental Organisations Bill in the Ugandan Parliament in 2015. This note explains how the Bill is likely to severely restrict the activities of NGOs, and in particular those who campaign for LBGT rights and provide HIV services to the LGBT community, for instance by refusing the registration of an NGO or scrutinising its activities.
