Migration has been part of human history for centuries, but today’s migrations have reached an unprecedented global scale. According to the “State of Migration in the World 2024” report (IOM), 117 million people were displaced in 2024 alone due to conflicts, violence, disasters, and other crises.
While economic reasons still play a role, contemporary migrations are increasingly driven by climate change, prolonged conflicts (like in Afghanistan), and stricter migration policies. Beyond the visible challenges, migrants often face an invisible struggle: psychological trauma.
