Watch for:

"A Joint Evaluation of the Protection of the Rights of Refugees During the COVID-19 Pandemic, commissioned under the auspices of the COVID-19 Global Evaluation Coalition, is intended to be publicly released in the next few days. The evaluation confirms that there is clear evidence that some states have used the pandemic as a purported justification to introduce restrictive measures detrimental to the rights of refugees. In some cases, restrictive practices adopted at the height of the pandemic for public health reasons have been retained or reinforced as security measures." (Source: UNHCR)

In the meantime, check out this UNHCR blog post which links to emerging findings of the evaluation and other resources.

News: 2022 Global Report on Internal Displacement

The 2022 Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID) has been published. It estimates a record high total of 59.1 million people displaced within their own countries at the end of 2021. From IDMC's press release:

"Around 38 million internal displacements, or movements, were reported during 2021, the second highest annual figure in a decade after 2020's record-breaking year for disaster displacement. Conflict and violence triggered 14.4 million movements, an increase of almost 50 per cent on the year before. ...Disasters continued to trigger most internal displacements globally, with 23.7 million recorded in 2021. ...
   Around 25.2 million of the world's IDPs are under the age of 18 and the effects of their displacement go well beyond their immediate safety, wellbeing and education. A healthy and happy child is more likely to contribute to an equitable society and a functioning economy."

Visit the landing site for highlights, media information, graphics and videos. The report can be downloaded in full or by section. Part 1 looks at the global picture, while part 2 focuses on children and youth. Background papers relating to part 2 and country-specific figures are also available via the same download link. Previous iterations of the report can be accessed here
