LGBTQI+ rights in Mali 🇲🇱

LGBTQI+ citizens faces social & legal challenges in Mali. LGBTQI+ people can not marry, they can not adopt a child in Mali.

Legality of Homosexuality

Private adult-consensual and non-commercial homosexuality is legal in Mali. Since 1961 Mali equalized age of consent for both heterosexual & homosexual relationships.

However, the Article 179 of the penal code punishes "public indecency" acts with fines and imprisonment. This has sometimes been used against LGBTQ+ people who engage in public displays of affection,who solicite sex publicly, who openly come out, who exhibit atypical gender expression,who works with a LGBTQ group. According to ABamako.com , Mali's Justice Minister Mahamadou Kassogué announced that he will bring a new law to criminalize homosexuality.

Same sex union or marriage

Same-sex marriages or unions are not officially recognized in Mali. Before colonialism, same-sex unions were practiced among Bambara of Mali.

Public Opinion

While private consensual homosexuality is legal, the prevailing cultural and religious beliefs of most Malians view non-normative sexuality & gender expression as immoral. Mali's religious & orthodox muslims characterize homosexuality, transgenderism as sin, requiring severe punishment equal to being stoned to death. According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 98% of Malian adults believed that homosexuality is a way of life that society should not accept,which was the highest rate of rejection in the 45 countries surveyed.

Dr. Dembelé Bintou Keita, the director of ARCAD/SIDA, said ''Malian society is least tolerant toward homosexuals.They have no rights and certainly no right to claim their sexual orientation. All cultural beliefs towards MSM are negative.MSM are forced into bisexuality or underground sexual practices that put them at high risk of sexually transmitted and HIV infections.'' Keita also stated "Men who are attracted to other men are forced to get married, so that they will not bring shame to the family... but they still have men as sexual partners."

Discrimination,Violence

There are no anti-discrimination laws to protect the LGBT community from harassment and abuse on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Societal discrimination against LGBTQ+ community is widespread in Mali.Police can persecute LGBTQ+ people, especially effeminate gay, transvestite, non-binary & trans folk under the article 179, which deals "public indecency.”

In 2009 ARCAD/SIDA, a non-profit organization faced heavy backlash, when they announced to organize a large conference on HIV/AIDS & health of sexual minority. Mali's religious leaders,ulema & islamists falsely accused the organization “for promoting homosexuality & turning teenagers into gay”. Some local news media presented it as “conference of homosexuals” In addition, Malian Imams & Ulema marched at the streets & called for banning the organization. Mali's ex-president Toumani Touré also condemned this conference to take place in Bamako. In 2010, Mali & Morocco on the behalf of African and Islamic nations, called for an amendment on UN resolution that protect SOGIESC groups from unjustified executions,extrajudicial killings. According to the Malian daily Le Républicain, in April 2013, a group of homosexuals celebrating one of their birthdays in an apartment was attacked by a group of men in the neighbourhood that had realized their presence there. In September 2013, a group of homosexual people was attacked by a mob during a party in the city of Mopti.Sources note that the party was wrongly perceived as the celebration of a gay marriage. According to U.S. State Department's 2013 country Reports, “some people suspected of belonging to sexual minorities were captured and beaten over the next three days, and the National Guard did not respond to requests for help. According to Country Reports, some imams subsequently condemned homosexuality, which led to other acts of violence in the city.

The head of Mali's High Islamic Council, Imam Mahmoud Dicko stated following the attack (on November 2015) against the Radisson Blu Hotel that the terrorists were sent to us by Allah to punish us for encouraging homosexuality in the society. Dicko gave homophobic rethorics against country's sexual minorities multiple times. Le Monde News reported that “human rights activists immediately protested via open letters & on air statements to the media.

There are also some anti-LGBTQ+ groups such as “The Leagues of Decency”. Earlier they created a moral panic in public by spreading false propaganda that Mali's doctors are changing Mali's children's sexuality through injections. Such type of homophobic groups come together under the acronym Lutte Contre l'Homosexualité au Mali (English: Fight Against Homosexuality in Mali). This network was created in 2017; was called the "year of crisis" due to the sudden increase of violence against LGBTQI+ community in Mali. The network shared personal informations of LGBTQ+ individuals, in order to make it easier for haunting LGBTQI+ Malians & abusing them. They also post videos of their harassment & abuse on online. In 2020, 15 homosexual minors (between the age of 13 & 17) were arrested by Malian police. In 2021, six Malian lesbians, all affiliated to an International LGBT network were arrested by Malian police.

Recognition of gender identity

Mali does not allow one's to change his/her/their gender marker in Passport,legal documents.Mali has no third or non-binary gender option for citizens.

According to Christophe Broqua, Bambara people culturally recognize a non-binary or third gender identity called cetemusote/cεtεmùsotε (which can be translated as “neither man nor woman in English). Cetemùsote individuals are born as male, few are born as intersex. They also engage in same-sex partnership with cisgender Malian men. Mandinka people recognize third gender/sex individuals in their culture.Furthermore, Dogon people of Mali has gender variance practices in their communities.

LGBTQI+ Association, Activism

In 2005, the governor of District of Bamako refused to give legal recognition of a LGBTQ rights association. ARCAD/SIDA is Bamako-based HIV/AIDS organization, provides health care for homosexuals,MSMs & Transgender person .In April 2009 a workshop on HIV/AIDS and Homosexuality organised by ARCAD/Sida, had to be cancelled following protests from the general population. ARCAD/SIDA organizers were accused of trying to lure teenagers into homosexuality & spreading immorality.As a result organizers had to cancel their workshop & try to run their activities more discreetly in Bamako,Mali. Malian Human Rights Association [French: Association malienne des droits humains] also work with country's sexual minorities.
