Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 102
- Paragraph text
- While the figures are alarming and tell us much about the global internal displacement situation and trends, it is essential that we look beyond the statistics to recognize the human suffering behind them. In that regard, enhancing support to Governments to collect and analyse reliable and protection-sensitive information for evidence-based policy, programming and response is crucial. Media and political discourse often consigns the displaced, whether internal, refugees or migrants, as a collective, faceless problem to be resolved, rather than individuals and families whose lives, wishes and hopes matter.
