Domicide (from Latin domus, meaning home or abode, and -cide, meaning deliberate killing) is "the deliberate destruction of home by human agency in pursuit of specific goals, which causes suffering to the victims." It includes the widespread destruction of a home environment, forcing the homedwellers to move elsewhere. Scholars have described domicide as a multidimensional assault on human dignity that undermines security, identity, memory, community, and the possibility of return.
