What is forced migration?

Forced migration refers to the movement of individuals or groups who are compelled to leave their homes or countries due to various factors, such as conflict, persecution, natural disasters, or human rights violations. Unlike voluntary migration, forced migration is driven by external factors that leave individuals with no choice but to flee their homes in search of safety and security. This can result in displacement within their own country (internally displaced persons) or crossing international borders to seek refuge in another country (refugees).
