REALITIES AND NEEDS OF LGBTQ+ INDIVIDUALS IN RWANDA. Diagnostic Report
Rwanda faces significant challenges in the realm of rights and equality for the LGTBIQ+ community. Despite the Penal Code not prescribing penalties for same-sex acts, constitutional support for gender equality, prohibition of discrimination, and the country's endorsement of international declarations protecting LGTBIQ+ rights, the community still lacks considerable social acceptance and legal protection in the "Land of a Thousand Hills."
In this context, this diagnostic report provides a brief analysis of the situation of the LGTBIQ+ community in Rwanda. It is part of the project titled "Creation of a Social Transformation of Symbolic Violence and Sexual and Gender Diversity in the Fields of Education, Health, and University, from a Local and Global Perspective. Phase II," led by medicusmundi Bizkaia and funded by the Basque Agency for Development Cooperation.
The diagnosis is available in Spanish, Basque, English, French and Kinyarwanda.
