Délit mineur

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in the Ivory Coast face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents, although it is more tolerant of LGBTQ rights than some other neighboring nations. Same-sex sexual activity is legal for both men and women in Ivory Coast, but same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples.
