5. LOCATION INFORMATION
Security situation & risk mitigation	Security conditions are generally calm throughout the country. As per ActionAid security threat level assessment the risk level is ’Medium’ in the scale of low, medium, high and extreme. Street crime, inadequate law enforcement, civil unrest, and the growing problem of pick-pocketing and snatching affect the security environment. The number of reported crimes, including armed robbery and mugging, has increased in Dhaka over the past two years however these are not very remarkable. Extremist groups are also known to operate across the country, however, law enforcement agencies have taken a proactive stance in countering any forms of potential aggression. Political violence has been relatively low in the past six months. However, the situation remains fluid and can change any time. Nation-wide strikes may also be called at short notice in response to political developments and can involve the shutdown of all activity, particularly in urban areas. Strikes may also result in violent clashes between anti-government groups and the security forces. At the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023 the National Election will be held. So, political unrest can be expected at that time.
