The Middle East and North Africa are among the regions flagged as high risk for female travellers, with 29 countries highlighted as representing a particular risk for women of harassment, assault, gender-based discrimination and restrictive local laws. This is among the findings of the 2026 Female Travellers Risk Map, published by Safeture and Riskline. Magnus Hultman, chief executive of Safeture, said organisations need to recognise that travel risk is not experienced equally by everyone. “As travel risk becomes more complex, organisations need both relevant intelligence and the ability to act on it,” he said.
