• Business travellers spending time in hotel bars, restaurants, taxis and off‑site meetings.
• People in smaller organisations, NGOs and universities who don’t have a big HR or security team behind them, but still carry a duty of care.
• Travellers from groups who experience disproportionate harassment or discrimination (including women and LGBTQIA+ travellers), and the colleagues who want to support them.

 

Bar and Restaurant Safety :  Practical steps for staying safer in bars and restaurants – from choosing where to sit, to looking after drinks, payments and personal items, and deciding when to leave.

Cultural Sensitivity: How to read and respect local norms in social and meeting settings, reduce friction and avoid unintentionally putting yourself or others at risk through misunderstandings.

Gender‑Based Violence :An introduction to how gender‑based violence shows up in travel and work contexts, what warning signs to watch for, and why seemingly “minor” behaviours matter.

LGBTQIA+ Travellers: Focused guidance on navigating socials, meetings and informal spaces as an LGBTQIA+ traveller, with attention to laws, culture, disclosure and allyship – especially relevant during Pride and beyond.

Meeting Safety: How to prepare for and run safer meetings – from room layout and who is in the room, to managing 1:1s, off‑site venues and “coffee catch‑ups” that don’t feel quite right.

Sexual Harassment: Clear examples of what harassment can look like on the road, simple scripts for responding in the moment, and options for recording and reporting behaviour, including when the issue involves a client or senior colleague.

Sexual Violence: What to do if you or someone you’re supporting experiences sexual violence while travelling: immediate safety, preserving options, and where to seek support locally and from home‑country services.

Working Late: Managing risk when work runs into evenings and nights – from staying behind in offices, co‑working spaces or hotel business centres, to travelling back to accommodation after hours.

• Harassment, coercion and boundary‑crossing behaviour are widespread in work and travel settings, and they rarely look like a single dramatic incident at first.
• Smaller organisations and universities often lack clear, accessible training and routes for escalation, leaving travellers to manage situations alone.
• LGBTQIA+ travellers and women frequently report adjusting their behaviour to stay safe, especially around nightlife, taxis and mixed‑power settings.

• Give travellers language, options and scenarios, not just “trust your gut”.
• Provide small organisations with a ready‑to‑use training tool they can stand behind.
• Build a shared, practical understanding of what support looks like when something isn’t right.
