Passport Privilege

Imagine you want to travel to another country. You have a passport, but it's not from a rich country. This can make traveling very hard. Kunal Sehgal from CNN shared his own story about this problem. He said it's like having a vaccination that doesn't always work. Some people have a passport that lets them go to many countries easily. This is called passport privilege. But for others, it's very difficult. They need a visa for almost every country they want to visit.

Kunal's story is about how travel can be unfair. People with low-mobility passports have to plan very carefully. They might need to apply for a visa months before they travel. Sometimes, their application is rejected. This can be very frustrating. Kunal wants people to understand how hard it is to travel with a low-mobility passport. He hopes that by sharing his story, people will see the inequality in global travel.

Kunal's story shows us that passport privilege is real. It's not just about the country you're from, but also about the opportunities you have. People with high-mobility passports have more freedom to travel. They can visit many countries without a visa. This is something we should think about when we travel. We should remember that not everyone has the same privileges we do.
