Transit Rights Map explores the challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face while navigating international travel. It examines how varying legal protections and social attitudes impact their safety and experiences.

The book culminates by proposing proactive measures for safer, inclusive travel.

By providing a structured approach and accessible information, Transit Rights Map equips travelers, advocates, and policymakers with the knowledge to promote social justice and navigate the complex landscape of international travel rights.
