What’s life like for LGBTQ people in Côte d’Ivoire? Let’s take a look at some of the key equality indicators.

Yes – same-sex sexual activity has never been criminalised in Ivory Cost. This is primarily because Ivory Coast inherited its legal system from France when it was colonised. French law did not include criminalisation of homosexuality.

There are public decency statutes that could be used to prosecute LGBTQ people.

### Are there anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people in Côte d’Ivoire?

No. There are no protections from discrimination on the grounds of sexuality.

### Is there Marriage Equality in Côte d’Ivoire?

No. There is no legal recognition of same-sex relationships.

### What’s life like for LGBTQ people in Côte d’Ivoire?

Ivory Coast is a socially conservative country, and homosexuality is seen as a taboo subject.

Homophobia is systemic, and LGBTQ people are forced to conceal their sexuality.
