The term sensitive and insecure contexts, as used in the Safer Access Framework, covers a broad range of situations, from those which involve no violence but which nonetheless present National Societies with perception or acceptance issues to violent demonstrations, riots or spontaneous acts of revolt (also referred to as internal disturbances or internal tensions and to outright armed conflict), as well as many situations combining characteristics of several different contexts. Security and access issues can also arise following a natural disaster or in situations where banditry, gang violence or other forms of criminality prevail.
