ABSTRACT
Globally, human displacement is at a record high. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 110 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide owing to persecution, mass conflict, or human rights violations. Conflicts continue to rage in different parts of the world such as Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan, and Tigray. Large-scale political upheaval is also on the rise in many countries such as Haiti, Venezuela, and Iran. Natural disasters fueled by climate change will further contribute to large-scale forced migration. Persons with forced migration experiences (PFMEs) tend to have significant rehabilitation needs because of high risk of physical injuries, mental trauma, and exacerbation of pre-existing health problems during displacement. Rehabilitation practitioners in host countries must be well equipped to address the complex needs of this population. However, there is currently limited literature to guide best practice. In this article, a group of interdisciplinary professionals examine rehabilitation needs among PFMEs, provide examples of established and emerging rehabilitation interventions with PFMEs in the context of asylum and resettlement, identify barriers to accessing rehabilitation services in host countries, and propose avenues for professional advocacy in this area.
