Let’s be perfectly clear, the number one way to prevent sexual assault is to not rape. While the responsibility of ending sexual gender based violence is on the perpetrators, this guide will offer general safety tips, country-specific information, and resources to help prevent and prepare travelers for the possibility of sexual assault abroad.

GENERAL SAFETY TIPS: 1. Use the buddy system and travel with friends. 7 out of 10 2. Be aware of social and cultural norms. For example, looking at someone in rapes are the eyes when you speak to them is perfectly normal in the U.S., but in committed another country that could signify you’re interested in the person. by someone known to the 3. Recognize controlling behavior when entering a relationship. Most rape victim1 survivors recall feeling “uncomfortable” about some of their partner’s behaviors such as degrading jokes/language or refusal to accept “no” as an answer, whether in a sexual context or otherwise.2 4. Avoid secluded places where you could be more vulnerable. Meet new people in public spaces and let a trusted friend know where you’ll be beforehand. Always have a backup plan in mind. 5. Trust your gut. Many victims have a “bad feeling” right before an assault takes place. It’s okay to leave a situation that is making you feel uncomfortable. Stay alert and aware in new social settings and places.

Effects such as distorted judgment, loss sense of time, sight, sound, identity, and overall consciousness can be felt within 15 minutes and may last up to 4 hours.3 • SaintPanama’sNicaragua’sTheJamaica’sHaiti’sItDominicanDominica’sCubaInBelize’sBarbados’Text isCanada, legaldrinkingillegal doesLucia’s legal legal drinkinglegal legal tonoteachRepublic’slegal legaldrinking legalagedrinkingsell,serve, have drinking drinking province drinking indrinking serve,drinkingage Hondurassell,a age legalageisin age ageoroffer18, CostaTheisorage ageis and16.drinkingconsume howeverterritoryisis 18.Bahamas is 4or is18. 16, RicaLocals, buyingIn16.18, 18.consume4 Whilehowever,ruralThe4 regardless4 isConsuming age,age Althoughalcoholicagesets 18. includingcountryageis areasthereis but18.verification Compared itsalcoholic 18. isthere4 theownDrug18 4 ofare the ofbeveragesIthas alcoholfor teenagers, Belize,isminimumalcohol is legalfines law possession saidsignificantlyaoff-premise beveragesto general isis the drinking iswomenthat forrarely rarely type undercommon ageregionalcommonly violatingthe lack oris checkedinenforced, to who sales, theage. nationala wherestruggled publicpurchase ofserious in average, age drinkenforcementThethe thedrinkbut one orof for law, iflegal pastime Caribbean in16crime, 18.deniedyou withanindividualsKlerenconsumes public,thefor4there drinking alcoholicHowever, are underage/teenageon-premise number often inin orcaughtis gotheandDominican Mexico.Clairinlittle it. resultingoutageunder country.beverage these 4occursof Be possessing, alone enforcementin people, It sales.aextra the Alberta, isdrinkingprevalent Republic inillegalinSome atage is 4 social cautiousimprisonment whodrinking night,18 of Manitoba,using,establishments yearstolaws drink 18.homemadebyoccasionsis or drink drinkinginauthorities.Thisof are hangold.or in theice in traffick rarelyCosta is and and in theoutpast, from rum. 4 - ingHowever,Bebeverages,enforced.streetsAlcoholRicaQuebecwithsetthecoldheavysuchbut cautious thedrugs,Law“I’m isbeertheas fines. therequired and ispartiesRegulatingLegal”opposite hundreds toInwidely 18consequences secondas police during abeatyears UsewaterWorld campaignsand age available theof sex willlowest old.regional ofthe holidays.purificationhigherHealth marijuana island aredeathslikely HoweverProduction are inculturally have and than Organization festivitiestheheat stop severe5have is accessible sinceAmericas, 16,the illegal inandyou been and butfrowned andHondurasdrinking simplysparkedif called Saleinotherdoing reportedpenalties study, throughoutthewith of upon.relax patronalesage places isso. publicBahamas.
