The IRC's engagement with European institutions enables us to help shape effective, evidence-based policies that bring maximum benefit for the people we serve. Established in 2001, the IRC in Brussels uses the IRC’s experience from our humanitarian and development programmes to shape EU policies in ways that improve the lives of more people worldwide.

  On this page you will find a list of stories and articles detailing the experiences of refugees, asylum seekers, activists, IRC staff and clients and other people around the world as they survive, thrive, recover and rebuild their lives amidst humanitarian crises. Our stories are organised by regions.
