The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is committed to helping British nationals stay safe overseas. We raise awareness of travel risks, including sexual assault, alongside information on how to access help and report crimes, through Travel Advice, GOV.UK guidance and the FCDO's Travel Aware campaign. We undertake specific initiatives and campaigns in support of this work informed by the trends and concerns identified.
