The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the largest humanitarian agencies in the world, providing relief, rehabilitation and post-conflict reconstruction support to victims of oppression and violent conflict. IRC has worked for over seven decades and today is involved in over 42 countries worldwide. We address both the immediate, lifesaving needs of conflict affected people in an emergency and the reconstruction needs in post conflict societies. IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and thorough accountability to those we serve.
The IRC implements programs to help women and girls live free from violence in over 20 countries affected by conflict and natural disaster. IRC’s Women’s Protection and Empowerment (GBV) global team supports programs, creates opportunities and works in partnerships in pursuit of a world where women and girls are valued members of their communities and live free from violence.
