LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — TRAVEL ADVISORY

Mixed legal status — discretion recommended

Local law: Legal with equal age of consent since 2018, but mob violence is documented and social hostility severe. Full discretion required.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.

🆘 Who to contact if in trouble →

Global emergency resources (always available):

Rainbow Railroad — emergency relocation for LGBTQ+ people facing persecution. Confidential intake form.
OutRight International — global LGBTQ+ human rights advocacy and emergency referrals.
ILGA World — global legal-status map and regional contacts.
