Abstract

The article defines that the term “forced migrants” refers to all those persons who, to one degree or another, are either persecuted or suffer from external hostility. Among the most frequent reasons that encourage people to move or seek refuge are several signs, including: the internally displaced person religion, individuals’ sexual orientation, and war. Forced migration is a social and economic order phenomenon rather than legal, although in general forced migration refers to the people territorial movement because of persecution, the threat of life loss and loss of person social identification, as well as due to the absence of any possibility of full human participation in various life areas and the impossibility of the their abilities and skills implementation, in conditions where there is no political, economic or other choice. On the study’s basis, the main social work directions with internally displaced persons are highlighted: 1) Identification of social and domestic problems of the family seeking help with a view to further socialization. These may be issues of further employment in temporary stay places or payment for child support. But the main task at this stage is the determination of the immigrants’ category, who need urgent social assistance; 2) the social support provision and preventive measures in order to avoid delinquent manifestations in places of mass immigrants accommodation. The main task is to satisfy the basic psychological needs for safety, security, acceptance and social approval (to place the victim in a safe environment and to adapt to the environment, establishing successful functioning in society); 3) one of the social work’s areas is active cooperation with the media.
