UniQ Team
UNIQ Magazine SA’s vision is to eliminate homophobia that is undermining the progress made through the provisions in the 1996 Constitution committing to promote dignity and substantive equality for all. This constitutional ban of discrimination has spawned a very progressive jurisprudence on gay rights.
