Dominica’s High Court has overturned the country’s ban on consensual same-sex activity, which dates back, in part, to colonial times.
The High Court ruled on Tuesday (23 April) that parts of the law that criminalised consensual same-sex activity between adults – sections 14 and 16 of the 1998 Sexual Offences Act – were unconstitutional.
