Danne Belmont booked a ride home. Instead, she was attacked.

In Bogotá, Colombia, this February, Danne, a trans woman, was assaulted by her driver and accomplices during what should have been a routine trip. She was beaten, robbed, and left injured. Her documents were stolen.

No one should fear for their life just because they got into a car.

But Danne’s case is not isolated. In parts of Europe, drivers have abandoned LGBT+ couples in unsafe areas – leaving them stranded in places where they had reason to fear for their safety. And recently, Alex, a gay teenager in Texas, was rudely thrown out of his Uber – apparently because his tone of voice sounded too "gay" to the driver

Ride apps promise safety. For many LGBT+ people, that promise is not being kept.

The right to move freely and travel safely is not negotiable. Corporations that operate globally have a responsibility to prevent discrimination and respond decisively when violence happens.

Uber must act now. We call on Uber’s global leadership to:

• Fully cooperate with authorities in the investigation of the attack on Danne Belmont.
• Implement mandatory anti-discrimination and LGBT+ safety training for drivers worldwide.
• Introduce stronger in-app emergency tools specifically for hate-motivated incidents.
• Publish transparent data on hate incidents and company responses.

No one should have to calculate risk before booking a ride.

Safety is not a feature. It is a right.

Sign now to demand real protection for LGBT+ riders everywhere.
