forced removal policies

Forced removal policies are government actions that require certain groups of people to leave their homes or communities, often against their will. These policies are typically implemented for reasons like land development, public safety, or to relocate Indigenous populations. They can involve legal orders, physical displacement, and often result in loss of homes, land, and community connections. While sometimes justified by government interests, forced removals are widely criticized for their negative impacts on affected populations and for violating rights to land and stability.
