displaced communities
People forced from home
Displaced communities are groups of people forced to leave their homes, typically by war, persecution, natural disaster, or development projects.
The term emphasizes collective uprooting rather than individual refugees: The dam project created displaced communities that struggled to rebuild their social networks.
Unlike voluntary migrants, displaced communities often maintain ties to places they cannot return to.
