Essay 1: Critical Analysis of the Social Persuasive Text – “One Step Forward, Two
Steps Backward… LGBTQI Rights in Africa”
Introduction
The text titled “One Step Forward, Two Steps Backward… LGBTQI Rights in Africa” is a
political persuasive article published by Sonke Gender Justice on 02 August 2023. It addresses
the contradictory developments regarding LGBTQI+ rights across Africa, especially highlighting
legal contradictions in Namibia and Uganda. The target audience appears to be African
policymakers, civil society, and the broader African public who influence or engage with human
rights discourses. The persuasive purpose is to raise awareness about regressive anti-LGBTQI+
laws and to prompt advocacy for more inclusive, rights-based governance.
Body: Critical Analysis of Persuasive Strategies
The text employs a range of persuasive appeals (logos, pathos, ethos) and linguistic devices
(loaded language, juxtaposition, statistics, historical references, tone, and imagery) to influence
its audience.
1. Appeal to Logos (Logic and Reasoning)
The article appeals to logic through factual presentation of contrasting laws. It states, for
instance, “Namibia’s Supreme Court passed a progressive ruling that its government must
recognise the unions of same-sex couples... whereas Uganda promulgated one of the harshest
anti-LGBTQ laws.” This contrast demonstrates inconsistency across African states and uses
logical argumentation to point out the irrationality of criminalising consensual same-sex relations
while recognising same-sex unions under international pressure.
