Ghanaian Woman Linked to LGBTQIA Rights Missing Amid Rising Violence
We just want to know that she is safe,” said a close friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
A deep sense of concern has arisen within the community as local advocates for LGBTQIA rights seek information about the whereabouts of 44-year-old Veronica Williams. She is believed to be in hiding somewhere in Ghana, though her exact location remains unknown. What is clear, however, is that she disappeared due to escalating violence and threats against her and her family, stemming from her affiliation with the LGBTQIA community.
Her friends have expressed growing fears, as they have had no contact with her since her departure. “We are worried sick. We just want to know that she is safe,” said a close friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “No one should have to live in fear because of who they are or who they represent.”
