| Description | There are currently no discrimination protections for LGBT folks under Haiti's current constitution or penal code in the realm of housing. A penal code granting these protections and the legalization of abortion was decreed in 2020 by the President of Haiti in 2020 and was initially delayed for 24 months, but was further delayed after outrage from politicians and citizens. Legalization may finally occur in June 2024 if allowed to take effect |
