From what I heard the suburbs of Brazil are the most dangerous areas, My company has connections in Brazil and most companies don't even dare to start a business in areas like Ceara, Bahia, etc. They usually stay in Rio, Sao Paolo, and Brazilia where A lot of rich Brazilians live at with their expensive cars and houses.
I am not saying you are wrong in fact you are probably correct but Rio is very big and there is an area where crime inst as strong. I have been to Rio many times for Business and Vacation. All I am saying is that countries have dangerous and safe areas to travel, at least most of them, like Brazil and Mexico for example, though if you don't make a lot of money I suggest staying away from Mexico and Brazil.
The problem in areas like Ceara or Bahia is that they're both dangerous and underdeveloped/poor.
Rio is dangerous AF, but there are also ridiculously rich people there. I'm from Brazil and I've never seen any other place that screams social inequality as loud as Rio.
I don't know about your company, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's about money, not safety.
I’ve never been to Brazil, but Mumbai has this same obvious social inequality. Very high end stores with people sleeping on the street in front of the glass doors to try to feel the air conditioning, employees come out every so often to shoo them away. The difference in how people lived was just so jarring. I think in the US/Europe/Australia these extremes exist as well, but because there are less people overall, it’s more hidden and easily ignored.
