HLI targets EALA bills, culture clash heats up in East Africa

This anti-abortion group, called Human Life International, wants to lobby East African lawmakers about bills they think mess with traditional values. Emil Hagamu runs their English-speaking Africa operation and said they already started campaigning but admitted they have basically no money to work with. The org is banking on regional religious beliefs to carry their message instead.

Hagamu trashed how the bills got written without asking stakeholders for input and wants to meet with the legislative assembly speaker plus friendly lawmakers. He told reporters these draft laws have been getting tweaked since 2017, and he claims they still have stuff that could change how communities view families and religion.
