'''Forced displacement''' (also '''forced migration''' or '''forced relocation''') is an involuntary or coerced movement of a person or people away from their home or home region. The [[United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees|UNHCR]] defines ''''forced displacement'''' as follows: displaced "as a result of persecution, conflict, generalized violence or [[human rights]] violations".<ref name="UNHCRtrends">{{cite web |url=http://unhcr.org/556725e69.html |title=UNHCR Global Trends –Forced Displacement in 2014 |publisher=UNHCR |date=18 June 2013

A forcibly displaced person may also be referred to as a "'''forced migrant'''", a "'''displaced person'''" ('''DP'''), or, if displaced within the home country, an "[[internally displaced person]]" (IDP). While some displaced persons may be considered [[refugee]]s, the latter term specifically refers to such displaced persons who are receiving legally-defined protection and are recognized as such by their country of residence and/or [[international organization]]s.

Forced displacement has gained attention in international discussions and policy making since the [[European migrant crisis]]. This has since resulted in a greater consideration of the impacts of forced migration on affected regions outside Europe. Various international, regional, and local organizations are developing and implementing approaches to both prevent and mitigate the impact of forced migration in the home regions as well as the receiving or destination regions.<ref name=":82">{{Cite report|title=High Commissioner's Dialogue on the Root Causes of Forced Displacement| date=2018 | publisher=Brill |doi = 10.1163/2210-7975_hrd-9811-2015004}}</ref><ref name=":72">Cone, Jason, And Marc Bosch Bonacasa. 2018. “Invisible War: Central America’s Forgotten Humanitarian Crisis.” Brown Journal of World Affairs 24 (2): 225–39.</ref><ref name="USAID">{{Cite web|url=https://www.usaid.gov/who-we-are/mission-vision-values|title=Mission, Vision and Values|date=2018-02-16|website=[[USAID]]|access-date=2019-10-24|archive-date=2020-02-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200202235759/https://www.usaid.gov/who-we-are/mission-vision-values|url-status=dead}}</ref> Additionally, some collaboration efforts are made to gather evidence in order to seek prosecution of those involved in causing events of human-made forced migration.<ref name="UNHCR2">{{cite web|url=http://www.unhcr.org/4e0344b344.pdf|title=Legal and Protection Policy Research Series: Forced Displacement and International Crimes|author=Guido Acquaviva|date=June 2011|publisher=UNHCR|access-date=11 April 2018}}</ref> An estimated 100 million people around the world were forcibly displaced by the end of 2022, with the majority coming from the [[Global South]].<ref>{{cite news |title=UNHCR: A record 100 million people forcibly displaced worldwide |url=https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/05/1118772 |work=UN News |date=23 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Number of displaced people passes 100m for the first time, says UN |url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/may/23/total-displaced-people-now-at-staggering-milestone-of-100m-says-un |work=The Guardian |date=23 May 2022}}</ref>
