Human rights in Niger

According to the Republic of Niger's Constitution of 1999, most human rights, as defined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, are upheld and protected. Same-sex sexual activity is legal in Niger but the age of consent is not equal for same-sex and opposite-sex sexual activity.[1] There is no legal protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.[2]
