The world continues to face the challenges of an unprecedented number of simultaneous large scale complex displacement crises with more than 65 million persons displaced worldwide, including around 22 million refugees, fleeing war, violence, human rights violations, including sexual and gender based violence, in search of safety and protection. In view of the scale and complexity of current displacements one of the main problems is the protracted nature of displacement - on average a person is displaced for over 10 years.
