| Description | Homosexuality has not been criminalised in Côte d'Ivoire because when they were governed by the French penal code as a French colony, sodomy was not criminalised, and to this day it has not been criminalised by successive governments. However, the penal code imposes a higher punishment on homosexual sexual activity in public than heterosexual. |
