Working in Asia: Understanding the Risks and Preparing Properly
While many cities across South America – such as Bogotá, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Lima – are well-developed and culturally vibrant, certain areas continue to present elevated risks, including civil unrest, political instability, organised crime, and limited infrastructure, particularly in more remote or marginalised regions.

Working in South America – whether in Caracas, Medellín, Port-au-Prince, or Quito – requires an understanding of the local security environment, cultural sensitivities, and the potential for rapidly changing conditions. For those involved in humanitarian operations, election monitoring, media reporting, or community development, having the right insurance in place is a vital part of risk planning.
