LGBTQ+ Travel Safety, Reimagined
LGBTQ+ security ratings for 200+ countries — built by experts, updated weekly, and available in the OZZI app.
Your Identity Shouldn’t Be a Risk Factor
For LGBTQ+ travelers, planning a trip often means navigating more than logistics — it means understanding safety, legality, and cultural attitudes. OZZI’s new LGBTQ+ Security Ratings system delivers real-time, expert-backed insights to help you make informed decisions, wherever you’re headed.
We cover over 200 countries and territories, updating risk scores weekly based on legal shifts, protests, community changes, and enforcement activity.
What Our Ratings Measure
Risk Rating Levels
Each category is scored on a five-point scale:
✅ Minimal – The environment feels safe and relaxed. Travel and daily activities can continue as usual with little concern.
⚠️ Low – Things are generally stable, though there may be occasional disruptions or issues. It’s a good idea to stay aware and take basic precautions.
❗️Moderate – There are noticeable risks that could affect plans or safety. Staying informed and making a few adjustments is recommended.
🛑 High – The environment is tense and unpredictable. Safety and travel plans may be affected. Careful planning and strong safety habits are important.
❌ Extreme – Serious and widespread risks are present. Extra caution is required, and in many cases, travel or activity should be delayed or avoided unless necessary.
Each country is scored across four key dimensions:
1. LGBTQ Security (Overall Risk)
Synthesizes legal, social, and enforcement factors into a single rating — giving you a top-line snapshot of risk for LGBTQ individuals.
2. Social Environment
Captures cultural acceptance, public attitudes, media representation, and the strength of local queer communities.
3. Legal Environment
Reviews national laws related to LGBTQ identity, gender recognition, marriage rights, anti-discrimination policies, and criminalization.
4. Enforcement
Assesses how laws are applied in real life — including police behavior, judicial fairness, and protection (or persecution) by authorities.
All data is reviewed and curated by global analysts with expertise in LGBTQ security, human rights, and regional law.
Why It Matters
Avoid guesswork and stay informed in regions where risk can change overnight
Understand context beyond legality — enforcement and social safety matter just as much
Plan proactively whether you’re traveling solo, relocating, or supporting someone abroad
