| Description | In Burkina Faso, there are no laws explicitly restricting trans people rights to use the bathroom based on their gender identity rather then their assigned sex at birth but there are no explicit protections for trans people either. However, transgender people in Burkina Faso face constant risks of arbitrary arrest, violence, and harassment and vaguely worded laws on indecency can be used to arrest them for using the bathroom matching their gender identity. |
