Internal displacement in Colombia

Internal displacement in Colombia refers to the situation where people are forced to leave their homes due to armed conflict, violence, or threats, but remain within the country's borders. Often caused by conflicts involving guerrilla groups, paramilitary forces, or drug traffickers, these individuals seek safety elsewhere within Colombia. Displacement impacts their ability to access basic services and live securely, creating ongoing social and economic challenges. It is an urgent human rights issue, with hundreds of thousands affected, highlighting the need for peace, protection, and solutions to restore stability for displaced populations.
