LGBTQ rights in Malawi Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Malawi face legal challenges not experienced by non- LGBTQ residents. Both male and female expressions of same-sex sexual activity are illegal within the nation.
In Malawi, it is a fight and act of resistance against anti-gay and anti-trans laws. Homosexuality is deemed a crime in the region and being caught means a hefty jail term of 14 years or more. Last year, a group of activists marched the streets of Lilongwe, the capital of the country, in the first Pride Parade.
Pride comes to life For the LGBTIQ+ community in Malawi, the Pride Parade held in the capital city Lilongwe is a highlight of the year, even if the fledgling tradition has only celebrated two events since its establishment last year.
