Forced Displacement

Forced displacement refers to situations where individuals or communities are compelled to leave their homes due to various reasons such as conflict, persecution, natural disasters, or development projects. This can include refugees fleeing war-torn countries, internally displaced persons who relocate within their own country, and those displaced by environmental changes. The process often leads to significant challenges, including loss of shelter, livelihood, and access to basic services, as well as psychological trauma. Understanding forced displacement is essential for addressing the humanitarian needs of affected populations and finding solutions for their resettlement and integration.
