WHAT DO BATSWANA THINK ABOUT MARRIAGE EQUALITY? 🏳️‍🌈🇧🇼

What does public perception tell us about the conversation on marriage equality in Botswana?

LEGABIBO is currently conducting a public perceptions survey since May 2026 to better understand awareness, attitudes, concerns and perspectives around same-sex relationships and marriage equality.

Among the 85 people who participated, 88% indicated that they support or strongly support the legalisation of same-sex marriage. Respondents also highlighted the importance of equality, human dignity, legal protection and freedom from discrimination, while cultural and religious beliefs continue to shape some perspectives.

The findings offer an important snapshot of the conversations happening around marriage equality and remind us that public education, dialogue and continued engagement matter.

As we build momentum towards the next stage of the marriage equality case in October, we want to continue hearing from you.

We want to hear your perspective.

Do you understand marriage equality? 🏳️‍🌈

What does the Marriage Act say, and how does it connect to our constitutional rights to equality, dignity and freedom from discrimination?

In this video, one of our allies and friend of the community shares what they have learned about the Marriage Act and marriage equality - offering us an opportunity to learn, reflect and better understand why these conversations matter.

For us, it is also a reminder that allyship starts with learning. It means asking questions, having honest conversations, challenging discrimination and choosing to stand in solidarity with LGBTIQ+ people as we work towards a more equal Botswana. ❤️

Because understanding our rights is not just important for those directly affected - it matters to all of us.

And now, the big question… 👀

What’s happening on the 4th of September?

Stay tuned. 🏳️‍🌈✨

Our recent Faith & Cultural Leaders Dialogue created space for meaningful conversations grounded in listening, respect, and shared humanity.

Through honest engagement, participants reflected on the intersections of faith, culture, human rights, and the importance of fostering communities where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

This carousel highlights some of the key reflections and insights that emerged from the dialogue. We hope they inspire continued conversations, deeper understanding, and collective action toward a more inclusive Botswana.

🇧🇼 Re le eleletsa President’s Day e e monate.

As we reflect on our nation’s journey, may we continue to uphold the values of Botho - respect, dignity, compassion, and equality for all. Together, we contribute towards building a Botswana where everyone is valued, heard, and able to live freely.

Celebrate, rest, take care of yourselves, and use this time to reflect if needed. 💙

P**a! 🇧🇼
