Global Forced Displacement

The global displaced population has risen every year for more than a decade, driven by Syria, Ukraine, Sudan, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Myanmar and dozens of smaller crises. Displacement is both a consequence of other events on this index and a cause of harm in its own right: it interrupts education, destroys livelihoods, exposes people to trafficking and exploitation, and destabilises host regions. Humanitarian funding has failed to keep pace, with appeals routinely funded below half.
