Trans activists and the family of Sexy Fredericks gathered at the High Court today for pre-trial of Sexy’s brutal murder, following the passage of the anti-LGBTQI+ bill which sparked a wave of hate crimes in 2024. @parliament_na must pass the Ombudsman’s hate crimes/speech bill.

Most importantly, it shows the urgent need for stronger legal protections and for the implementation of a revised hate speech and hate crimes bill, supported by the Office of the Ombudsman.

Following the passage of the anti-LGBTQI+ bills by @parliament_nam, more than 7 hate crimes were reported in 2024. Tomorrow the suspects accused of murder in Sexy Frederick’s hate crime case will make their first court appearance. We stand with her family in pursuit of justice.
