More than 83 Million People Forcibly Displaced Around The World

Worldwide, 89.3 million people were forcibly displaced by the end of 2021 due to persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations or events that seriously disrupt public order.

Today, the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, left their homes. He states that the number of people forced to act has increased every year for the past ten years, reaching the highest level since registration began, and that this trend is only reversible with a new and concerted effort to achieve peace.

UNHCR's annual Global Trends According to the report, by the end of 2021, the number of people displaced due to war, violence, persecution and human rights abuses has reached 89.3 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to the previous year and more than double the number 10 years ago. from II. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which caused one of the fastest and largest forced displacement crises since World War II, and other emergencies ranging from Africa to Afghanistan and beyond have pushed that number to a stunning milestone of over 100 million. .

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said: “For the last ten years, the numbers have increased every year. Either the international community comes together to address this human tragedy, resolve conflicts, and find lasting solutions, or this dire trend continues.” was worthy of attention; 23 countries with a total population of 850 million are faced with conflicts of medium or high intensity.

In many cases, the future of finance already looks bleak, while food shortages, inflation and the climate crisis are exacerbating people's distress and further challenging humanitarian response.

The number of refugees rose to 27.1 million in 2021. The number of arrivals to Uganda, Chad, Sudan and other countries has increased. Most of the refugees were once again hosted by neighboring countries with limited resources. The number of asylum seekers, on the other hand, increased by 11 percent to 4.6 million. The increase was due to increased violence or conflict in some places, such as Myanmar. The conflict in Tigray and other parts of Ethiopia has resulted in the internal displacement of millions of people. Revolts in the Sahel have led to new internal displacement, particularly in Burkina Faso and Chad.

The speed and volume of displacement still outpaces the availability of solutions such as return, resettlement or local integration. Yet the Global Trends report also contains a ray of hope. While numbers continue to be limited, voluntary returns of refugees and internally displaced persons increased in 2021, returning 71 percent to pre-COVID-19 levels. and there are also examples of countries and communities working together to seek solutions for displaced persons, although we have witnessed existing situations escalating or not being resolved. This is happening in some places; such as regional cooperation for the voluntary repatriation of Ivorians; however, these important decisions need to be implemented or extended elsewhere.”

Although the estimated number of stateless persons increased slightly in 2021, approximately 81,200 people, with the largest decline in statelessness since UNHCR's I Am (IBelong) campaign launched in 2014. acquired citizenship or had their citizenship confirmed.
