Women Fighting to Survive

Every day around the world, women are fighting to survive violence, inequality, poverty and disease.

When war and disaster stack the odds against them, women find the strength not just to struggle on, but to succeed. Nothing is more vital than what they are fighting for: their families and their own fiercely held dignity.

Women are winning, amid the worst crises, where the IRC gives them the tools they need to heal, to support themselves, and to bravely and boldly re-imagine their futures and rebuild their communities.

Learn how the IRC partners with communities and local institutions to promote and protect women and girls’ human rights and empower them to enjoy these rights.
