Burkina: Homosexual and similar practices now punishable by law

Ouagadougou, September 1, 2025 (AIB) – Homosexual and similar practices will now be punishable by law with a prison sentence of two to five years and a fine, according to the new Personal and Family Code adopted Monday by the Transitional Legislative Assembly (ALT) of Burkina Faso.

Anyone committing homosexual or similar practices on Burkinabe territory risks a prison sentence of between 2 and 5 years and a fine.

According to the Minister of Justice, Rodrigue Bayala, in the event of a repeat offense, if the person is not of Burkinabe nationality, "they will be purely and simply expelled from the country."

The adoption of this provision constitutes a major innovation, as no text had previously criminalized homosexual practices in Burkina Faso, the minister emphasized.
