🚨 The report of @IDPs_Panel is out!

With millions of people trapped in #displacement, the Panel calls for a development-oriented approach that prioritizes #SolutionsForIDPs.

Maintaining the status quo is not an option.

[IOM Somalia @iom_somalia]

Millions of Somalis have been internally displaced by conflict, violence, or disasters.

Efforts to build back a safer and resilient future must start with protection of migrant's rights to harness their potential.

[OCHA Burkina @OCHABurkina]

1 481 701: this is the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) recorded in Burkina Faso as of 31 October 2021, a 5% increase compared to the previous month (September). This rise in displacement is due to an increase of security incidents.@spconasur @onubf

[Researching Internal Displacement @RID_networks]

How does displacement alter the meaning of 'home'?

Another new addition to the #IDRP Working Paper series!

Nikola Lero offers an (auto)ethnographic insight into the long journey of (re)construction of the meaning of #home for Bosnian #IDPs:

[IDMC @IDMC_Geneva]

At the end of 2020, IDMC recorded 55 million #IDPs worldwide.

Knowing these numbers, however, is not enough to provide them with adequate support. That is why IDMC started assessing the conditions in which IDPs live.

Today December 3 is #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities - they are part of society, should be able to exercise their human rights & should not be left behind, including those in the context of internal displacement, in protection and solutions. See: https://t.co/cMlId5DreN
