International Rescue Committee (IRC)

Caught in the Conflict: How is the IRC helping women survive?

In a March 8, 2007 phone briefing, the International Rescue Committee's Heidi Lehmann discussed violence against women. Lehmann, the IRC's senior technical advisor on gender-based violence, was questioned by Susan Dentzer, an IRC board member and on-air health correspondent for the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. During the special International Women's Day session, Lehmann talked about her personal experiences working with women in Congo, Thailand and elsewhere.
