Assignment
This poster is part of body of work is designed to bring attention to LGBTQ human rights around the world.
Approach
LGBT Jamaicans are subjected to physical and sexual violence with many living in a perpetual state of fear. They are taunted, threatened, fired from their jobs, thrown out of their homes, or worse: beaten, stoned, raped, or killed. “LGBT people in Jamaica face intolerable levels of violence and cannot rely on the police,” said Graeme Reid, LGBT rights director at Human Rights Watch. “The authorities from the prime minister on down need to call a halt to the violence and discrimination, prosecute anyone responsible, and get homophobic laws off the books.” Jamaica’s Offences Against the Person Act includes a “buggery” law: Section 76. Unnatural Offences. Whosoever shall be convicted of the abominable crime of buggery, committed either with mankind or with any animal, shall be liable to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for a term not exceeding ten years.
