Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is an organization that monitors and reports on internal displacement worldwide. It has recently gained prominence due to its findings on the escalating global crisis of internal displacement. A report by IDMC revealed that in 2025, conflict and violence triggered a record high of 32.3 million internal displacements, exceeding disaster-driven displacements for the first time. This surge represents a 60% increase in conflict-driven displacements. The organization's work is crucial for understanding the scale and drivers of displacement, providing data that informs humanitarian responses and policy-making. Recent events, such as the displacement of Indigenous families in Mexico due to drug gang violence, underscore the ongoing relevance of IDMC's monitoring efforts in highlighting the human cost of conflict and insecurity.
