LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — TRAVEL ADVISORY

Mixed legal status — discretion recommended

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.

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.

About the event

Bridging gaps in healthcare requires collaboration, clear guidance and community involvement.

Today, through the Tubiteho Project, we brought together healthcare providers, local leaders, community-based organisations (CBOs) and peer educators in Kicukiro District to disseminate harm reduction guidelines and share evidence to strengthen support for people who use drugs.

The engagement focused on strengthening understanding of harm reduction, improving coordination between communities and health facilities, and promoting access to respectful, non-discriminatory health services. rbcrwanda rwandahealth
