ILGA World Database: LGBTI rights in Tajikistan

The archived PDF is largely obscured by a donation overlay from the ILGA World Database, but visible content indicates that the report presents a structured country-profile of LGBTI legal frameworks in Tajikistan. The report states that consensual same-sex sexual acts are legal in Tajikistan, with the status recorded as “Legal since 1998.” It states that the database tracks “no known legal barriers” in the categories of restrictions to freedom of expression and restrictions to freedom of association. The report states that across the constitutional-protection categories for sexual orientation (SO), gender identity (GI), gender expression (GE) and sex characteristics (SC), Tajikistan is recorded as having no protections, and that equivalent protections against discrimination in housing are also absent. The report states that there is no hate-crime law in place. The latest-news section lists a May 2024 item on a Tajik migrant who extorted money from a resident of Yekaterinburg by threatening to reveal an intimate secret, and a May 2023 item referencing the ECOM report on violations of the rights of LGBT people in Tajikistan during 2022.
