The latest data from\u00a0ILGA<\/a>\u00a0– the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, a global federation that monitors laws and rights affecting LGBT people – show that consensual\u00a0same\u2011sex relations<\/a>\u00a0remain criminalized in a significant number of countries, with a small but deadly minority still prescribing the death penalty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Infographic:<\/a> You will find more infographics at Statista<\/a>“>As Statista’s Tristan Gaudiat shows in the chart below, according to ILGA\u2019s database, over 60 countries around the world still criminalize consensual same\u2011sex activity, mostly through prison sentences of varying lengths (from fines and short terms to long jail terms). A smaller group of roughly a dozen countries even retains the\u00a0death penalty<\/a>\u00a0for such acts.<\/p>\n

This includes national laws<\/strong> in countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as regional sharia provisions<\/strong> applied in parts of Nigeria and Somalia.<\/p>\n

Uganda significantly stepped up enforcement after a controversial law was introduced in 2023, and renewed legislative pressure in 2025 led to several high\u2011profile prosecutions.<\/p>\n

In Southeast Asia, Brunei\u2019s expanded sharia penalties – first announced in 2019 and subsequently rolled out in stages, including provisions allowing death by stoning – continue to provoke international condemnation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
