Hmong diaspora
The Hmong diaspora refers to the global movement of the Hmong people, an ethnic group originally from Southeast Asia, primarily Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. Due to conflicts like the Vietnam War and subsequent persecution, many Hmong migrated to countries such as the United States, France, Australia, and Canada. This migration has created vibrant Hmong communities worldwide, where cultural traditions are maintained while integrating into host societies. The diaspora highlights resilience and adaptation, with Hmong individuals contributing across various sectors while preserving their unique language, religion, and cultural practices.
