Border Harassment Reports sheds light on the systemic discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ travelers at international borders.
This book uncovers how seemingly neutral border control practices often disproportionately impact this marginalized community, highlighting the intersection of national security concerns with fundamental human rights.
For example, the book reveals instances where LGBTQ+ individuals are subjected to discriminatory profiling and invasive questioning, pointing to policy gaps and insufficient training among border officials.
The book systematically examines documented incidents of discrimination, analyzes problem areas within current border control practices, and identifies policy gaps.
It progresses methodically, beginning with key concepts and moving through personal testimonies and legal complaints.
The study incorporates both qualitative data, such as firsthand accounts, and quantitative data, including statistical analyses of reported incidents.
This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and promotes informed policy reform to ensure equitable treatment and social justice for LGBTQ+ travelers.
