Abstract

The following country profiles are derived in part from sections of the Human Rights Watch 2019 World Reportthat relate to the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

This is a living document which will be updated regularly to reflect new events and further Human Rights Watch research.

The country profiles accompany a series of maps that show which countries criminalize consensual same-sex conduct or gender expression, the language of such laws, and the populations targeted.
