Protection from discrimination is enshrined within the Rwandan constitution. Rwanda does not criminalise or discriminate against sexual orientation in either law or policy.

The published country information notes (CIN) for Rwanda have been updated and can be found at the following link: Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill: supporting evidence - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk), along with other supporting evidence relating to the safety of Rwanda.
