African lawmakers need a unified, strategic front to push back against international pressure on LGBTQ rights, according to anti-LGBTQ activist Moses Foh-Amoaning.

Speaking at the conclusion of the Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values—an event centered on traditional family structures and national autonomy — Foh-Amoaning urged legislators to do more to protect continental cultural norms from foreign influence. He argued that the conference had failed to adequately address how African nations should counter global advocacy networks.

"I didn't hear the strategies to respond to the very vocal and active LGBTQ+ worldwide lobby," Foh-Amoaning remarked.

"They're very strong, and we need to have a strategy towards it because they have dominated the United Nations system."

Foh-Amoaning also leveled criticism at African professionals working within global bodies, alleging that they actively worked against domestic efforts to pass Ghana's controversial Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.

He claimed these officials sided with international critics publicly while privately admitting they were simply bound by their jobs.

"And on the quiet, when we confront them, they will say, 'Oh, you know, we are doing our job,'" he said.

A Call for Global Alliances

To counter this influence, Foh-Amoaning emphasized that dialogue is no longer enough; practical, institutionalized strategies are required. He proposed that African nations look beyond the continent to build a broader coalition with other culturally conservative regions.

Specifically, he pointed to parts of Asia and the Middle East as ideal partners for a coordinated pushback within global forums like the UN.

- Regional Resistance: He highlighted that nations like China and South Korea hold societal values that conflict with Western LGBTQ advocacy.

- A Unified Front: He urged systematic networking with Arab and Asian societies to build a more formidable, conservative voting bloc within the United Nations.
