Honduras
A growing humanitarian crisis in Northern Central America continues to force thousands of people to displace in search for safety every year. Violence in Honduras is at levels akin to war zones. The International Rescue Committee serves individuals and families who are at risk of violence and displacement in Honduras with programming to satisfy their most urgent needs as well as working with communities and families to mitigate and prevent violence.

Education
During conflict and crisis, education protects children and sets them up for a better future. It provides a sense of hope and enables them to recover, learn and thrive. However, over 127 million children in countries affected by war and displacement are out of school, while many others receive only a poor quality education. Despite this great need, education has received less than 3% of all humanitarian aid in recent years.

Getting Back on Track
From years of experience working with refugees and asylum-seekers globally, we know that when given opportunity to thrive, forcibly displaced persons contribute to their host communities and boost local economies. However, third-country nationals living in the European Union face very specific challenges and barriers to integration stemming from their vulnerabilities as refugee populations, as well as structural issues and divergent asylum policies at the EU and national levels. As the EU transitions into a new mandate for the European Commission and Parliament, the International Rescue Committee outlines a set of recommendations for a renewed and improved EU Action Plan on Integration. We argue that only by supporting the transition of refugees and asylum-seekers into their new communities, the EU has a chance to prove its role as a credible champion of protection and inclusion.
