Woubi Chéri (English: Darling Woubi[1]) is a 1998 French/Ivorian documentary that shows a few days in the life of various members of the gay and transgender community in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.[2] At the time of its release, it was one of the very few films from Africa to deal with LGBT issues.[2]

The title comes from the term "woubi", meaning a man who plays the role of a wife in a homosexual relationship.[1] Also featured in the documentary are "yossis", men who act as husbands to woubis, who are often bisexual and also in conventional marriages.[3] The film won Best Documentary awards at the New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival, the Turin International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, and the Transgender Festival in London.[4]
