Dispossessed Persons

Dispossessed persons are individuals or groups who have lost their homes, land, or rights due to social, political, or economic factors. This can happen through eviction, forced displacement, conflict, or discriminatory policies. They often lack access to basic resources and security, making rebuild their lives difficult. The term highlights their vulnerable position and the need for protection, assistance, and justice to restore their rights and ensure stability. Dispossessed persons are not necessarily refugees; they may remain within their own country but face similar struggles due to displacement.
