Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Mali may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.[citation needed] Neither male or female same-sex sexual activity is specifically prohibited in Mali, but public laws may be used against LGBT persons.[citation needed] According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 98% of Mali residents said that homosexuality should be rejected by society, making it the highest rejection of homosexuality in the 44 countries surveyed.[2]
