==== Other human-made displacement ==== * [[Human trafficking]]/[[Human smuggling|smuggling]]: Migrants displaced through deception or coercion with purpose of their exploitation fall under this category. Due to its clandestine nature, the data on such type of forced migration are limited. A disparity also exists between the data for male trafficking (such as for labor in agriculture, construction etc.) and female trafficking (such as for sex work or domestic service), with more data available for males. The [[International Labour Organization]] considers trafficking an offense against labor protection, denying companies from leveraging migrants as a labor resource. ILO's Multilateral Framework includes principle no. 11, recommending that "Governments should formulate and implement, in consultation with the social partners, measures to prevent abusive practices, migrant smuggling and people trafficking; they should also work towards preventing irregular labor migration."[[File:Umschlagplatz_in_Warsaw_August_1942.jpg|thumb|Jews forcibly displaced by the Nazi regime during Germany's WWII occupation of Poland, loaded onto trains for transport to concentration camps.]] *[[Slavery]]: Historically, [[slavery]] has led to the displacement of individuals for [[Forced labour|forced labor]], with the [[Middle Passage]] of the 15th through 19th century [[Atlantic slave trade]] standing as a notable example. Of the 20 million Africans captured for the trade, half died in their forced march to the African coast, and another ten to twenty percent died on slave ships carrying them from Africa to the Americas.<ref name=":3">{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part1/1p277.html|title=The Middle Passage|author=PBS-WGBH|date=1999|work=Africans in America|access-date=7 November 2016}}</ref> *[[Ethnic cleansing]]: The systematic removal of ethnic or religious groups from a territory with the intent of making it ethnically homogeneous. Examples include the Catholic removal of [[Salzburg Protestants]], the removal of Jewish people during the [[The Holocaust|Holocaust]], and the deportation of North American indigenous peoples (e.g., [[Trail of Tears]]). * Suppressing political opposition: For example, the [[forced settlements in the Soviet Union]] and [[population transfer in the Soviet Union]] including [[deportation of the Crimean Tatars]], [[deportation of the Chechens and Ingush]], [[deportation of Koreans in the Soviet Union]], [[deportation of the Soviet Greeks]], and [[deportations of the Ingrian Finns]] * Aligning ethnic composition with artificial political border: For example [[flight and expulsion of Germans (1944β1950)]], [[Polish population transfers (1944β1946)]], and [[Operation Vistula]] * [[Colonization]]: For example, the British governments transportation of [[Convicts in Australia]], [[American Colonization Society]] and others' attempt to create a country for [[African Americans]] in [[Africa]] as [[Liberia]], Japanese settlers in [[Manchukuo]] following [[Japanese invasion of Manchuria]], and the Chinese military settlement of [[Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps]] in [[Xinjiang]].
