US embassy warns, Females should avoid, traveling in TUK-TUKS alone in Colombo.


U.S. Embassy Colombo has been made aware of an increase in incidents involving Tuk-tuk drivers in the Colombo area inappropriately touching female passengers. The U.S. Embassy reminds all U.S. Citizens to maintain situational awareness when in public and at home to avoid being a victim of crime.  Please consider the following security tips:

  • Females should avoid traveling in Tuk-tuks alone in Colombo.
  • If you have to travel alone (especially at night) use a company that tracks your ride rather than Tuk-tuks and make sure family members or friends know your travel plans.
  • Take pictures of the Tuk driver and vehicle license plate prior to getting inside.
  • Many of the reported incidents occurred at the end of the ride – be extra vigilant during this time and try to limit time alone inside the Tuk.
  • Place physical barriers (bags, etc) between yourself and the driver.
  • Do not be afraid to use force if needed – make noise, be assertive, and strike back to defend yourself. Doing so will not only draw attention to the scene, but can also startle the attacker
  • Pay attention to your surroundings, and know your location in case you have to call for assistance
  • Do not make yourself a target for criminals – flashing expensive jewelry or large amounts of cash can make you a target
  • Lock your doors, including when you are at home
  • Carry your cell phone and ensure it is charged or carry a back-up charger. Have emergency numbers saved on your contacts list
