Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Somalia face severe challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Consensual same-sex sexual activity is illegal for both men and women.[6] In areas controlled by al-Shabab, and in Jubaland, capital punishment is imposed for such sexual activity.[7][8] In other areas, where Sharia does not apply, the civil law code specifies prison sentences of up to three years as penalty.[9] LGBT people are regularly prosecuted by the government[9] and additionally face stigmatization among the broader population. Stigmatization and criminalisation of homosexuality in Somalia occur in a legal and cultural context where 99% of the population follow Islam as their religion,[10] while the country has had an unstable government and has been subjected to a civil war for decades.
