Same-sex relations have been criminalized since 2017 under Article 354 of the new Penal Code, with 3 months to 2 years' imprisonment and a fine of 50,000 to 500,000 CFA francs. There is no legal recognition of same-sex unions. The U.S. State Department and UK FCDO advise against all travel due to terrorism, crime, and conflict. We recommend consulting official sources before planning any travel.
