About this ebook

Transit Risk Zones brings attention to a little-known danger for LGBTQ travelers: the risk faced during layovers in countries with discriminatory laws. It highlights how international travel, seemingly safe, can expose LGBTQ individuals to harassment or detention simply for their identity in transit zones. Many are unaware that something as routine as airport security or immigration procedures can become a source of vulnerability due to a country's transit laws and enforcement practices.

The book meticulously identifies high-risk layover countries, analyzing their legal frameworks, human rights records, and reported incidents. It arms travelers with practical advice for pre-travel planning, navigating airport security, and handling potential harassment. By revealing these dangers, Transit Risk Zones challenges the assumption of guaranteed safe passage.

The book progresses by first introducing the concept of transit risk, and then delves into specific country profiles. It concludes with actionable advice for travelers and a call for policy changes. This guide serves as a critical resource for LGBTQ travel, human rights advocacy, and policy reform, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and international cooperation.
