As of March 30, 2026, Senegal has enforced new laws that increase prison sentences for same-sex relationships to between five and ten years. Additionally, these laws now criminalise the promotion, support, or funding of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality. The FCDO warns that same-sex sexual acts remain illegal in Senegal and are actively prosecuted, with arrests already reported under the amended legislation.
