Displacement refers to the forced movement of individuals or groups from their home or place of residence due to factors such as conflict, natural disasters, or development projects. Displacement can lead to the creation of refugee populations or internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Step 1: Displacement
1. Refugee Displacement: People who flee their country due to war, persecution, or violence, seeking refuge in another country.
2. Internal Displacement: People who are displaced within their own country due to natural disasters, conflict, or development.
3. Causes of Displacement: Includes war, ethnic or political conflict, economic hardships, and environmental disasters like earthquakes, floods, or droughts.
4. Impact on Society: Displaced persons often face challenges such as inadequate shelter, food, education, and healthcare. Displacement can also lead to psychological trauma and the breakdown of social networks.
