Protection of internally displaced persons

Protection of internally displaced persons (IDPs) involves ensuring their safety, rights, and well-being within their own countries when they are forced to flee their homes due to conflicts, natural disasters, or other crises. Unlike refugees, IDPs remain within their national borders and may lack sufficient support or legal protections. Efforts focus on providing emergency aid, safe shelter, access to healthcare, and restoring their livelihoods, while also advocating for their rights, security, and voluntary return or resettlement when possible. The goal is to uphold their dignity and facilitate their ability to rebuild their lives.
