DescriptionIn 2001, the first protections against discrimination were provided to LGBTIQ+ people in Reunion when Law 1066 was passed prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in goods and services and employment.

Since then, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation were criminalised in the below:
-Law 73: Housing (2002)
-Law 496: All Other Areas (2008)

Gender identity would later be protected under Law 954 passed in 2012 in all areas except for housing.
