=== Forced migration === There are contested definitions of forced migration. However, the editors of a leading scientific journal on the subject, the ''[[Forced Migration Review]]'', offer the following definition: Forced migration refers to the movements of refugees and internally displaced people (displaced by conflict) as well as people displaced by natural or environmental disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, or development projects.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Welcome {{!}} Forced Migration Review |url=https://www.fmreview.org/ |access-date=2022-11-16 |website=www.fmreview.org}}</ref> These different causes of migration leave people with one choice, to move to a new environment. Immigrants leave their beloved homes to seek a life in camps, spontaneous settlement, and countries of asylum.<ref>[[Colson, Elizabeth]], [http://web.mnstate.edu/robertsb/308/forced%20migration%20and%20the%20anthropological%20response.pdf "Forced Migration and the Anthropological Response"]. ''[[Journal of Refugee Studies]]''. Vol. 16, No. 1, 2003, pp. 1β19</ref> By the end of 2018, there were an estimated 67.2 million forced migrants globally{{snd}}25.9 million refugees displaced from their countries, and 41.3 million internally displaced persons that had been displaced within their countries for different reasons.<ref name="world-migration-report-2020"/> In 2022, 6 million Ukrainian people fled their country; meanwhile, 3 million Syrian people fled in 3 years.
