This Policy Brief is a result of Global South Perspectives on Internally Displaced People webinar organized by IDRC Research Chairs Network on Forced Displacement, 13 February, 2025. It featured Paula Gaviria Betancur, UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons (IDPs), and four IDRC Research Chairs, Abebaw Minaye (Ethiopia), Hiram Angel (Mexico), Sawsan Abdulrahim (Beirut) and Houwayda Matta Bou Ramia (Lebanon). The speakers reflected on some of the work priorities, methods and challenges presented in the report, specifically in the current geo-political context, and ask, what has changed and what has stayed the same given changing global dynamics over the two years since the publication of the report.
