Make the world go away !

According to Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (iDMC)... At the end of the year 2010, the number of people internally displaced across the world (by armed conflict, generalised violence and human rights violations) reached 27.5 million. This figure represented an increase of about 400,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) since the end of 2009.

The global number of IDPs has steadily increased from a total of around 17 million in 1997. The number of refugees has remained fairly stable, fluctuating between 13 million and 16 million in the same period. Over half the world's IDPs were in five countries. Colombia and Sudan, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(DRC) and Somalia all had at least a million IDPs. In Pakistan there were at least 980,000 IDPs in 2010.

Protection:
People from a minority group were at greater risk of being displaced, and they frequently experienced discrimination during their displacement. As members of minorities, IDPs have less access to formal and informal support and protection.
Many IDPs encountered discrimination due to policies and practices which either targeted displaced communities, or failed to consider their distinct needs and so put them at a disadvantage.
Many indigenous or pastoralist groups with a particularly strong attachment to their land were displaced in 2010, for example in Afghanistan, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.
The impact of their displacement was disproportionately severe.
Discrimination added to the vulnerability of IDPs with particular needs, such as children, members of female-headed households, disabled and older people, in many countries.
In many countries, discrimination prevented IDPs from enjoying their rights to adequate housing, employment, education and health care. IDPs across the world had extreme difficulty in getting redress for their loss of housing and land.
In at least 27 countries in 2010, displaced children were unable to access education because of fees, damaged infrastructure, and other displacement-related factors.
In 2010, IDPs in many countries experienced violations of their right to physical security, as they were subjected to violence including sexual violence, abduction, forced relocation and arbitrary arrest. In many cases, IDPs who returned to
areas of origin found that they still faced threats to physical security, which forced them to flee again.
In 2010, displaced children in at least 18 countries faced threats to their physical security while exercising their right to education. Children in Afghanistan, for instance, faced the risk of physical violence and attack when travelling to and from school.
The insecurity which IDPs faced in displacement also reduced the chance of assistance reaching them, and had a drastic impact on their access to essential support. Attacks or threats against humanitarian workers continued in many situations including Darfur in Sudan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and Colombia.
In 2010, the recruitment of children into armed groups continued to cause internal displacement and also to threaten families in displacement. In at least 11 countries in 2010, children were recruited by armed groups, with internally
displaced children especially at risk of recruitment. In 2010, there were reports of recruitment in or around IDP camps and settlements in Colombia, in North Kivu in eastern DRC, in Afghanistan, Chad, Somalia and elsewhere.
