I chose an article called “Forced Displacement: Refugees, Internally Displaced, and Host Communities” because it explains the impact of displacement on people including the mental health. There are “about 70.8 million refugees, internally displaced persons and asylum seekers” around the world. The reasons for these people to escape the place where there live are normally because they are being persecuted, or there is violence on the place they used to live, basically to escape violence. The “physical impact” they suffer is that they lose their homes and their neighborhoods to look for protection. But people do not normally see the impact on the mental health of the people, “Many suffer from trauma, and women and girls are at high risk of gender-based violence”. Displaced people suffer traumas and there is the possibility of suffering in the new places because “Accommodating the sudden arrival of masses of newcomers presents a challenge for host governments, putting further pressure on their ability to deliver basic services and infrastructure” There are so many people escaping that it is difficult to find enough services to keep them safe and healthy.

I found this article interesting because this topic is not brought as much as it should be. The topic refugees feeling displace is something that really impacts lives mental and physically. It’s hard to escape from settings that you feel displaces from and feel like you can’t escape. This was a good article you chose!
Reading the article was very heart wrenching, this emotional and physical damages ones faced when they are displaced. Not only do they lose their homes but they are never find it again. It show the broken system that is created in our society.It was a really interesting article.
Reading this article was very interesting and emotional. Millions of families losing their loved ones and losing everything that they once owned. Having to go through this traumatic experience and still being able to move on forward with their life is very motivational. It shows how humans being can be far more crueler than the fiercest animal.
