Tajikistan
Although consensual same-sex relations were decriminalized in May 1998, LGBTQI+ people in Tajikistan face systematic persecution, police registries and harassment. There is no legal recognition of same-sex unions or anti-discrimination protections. We recommend consulting official sources before planning any travel.
