Methodological Recommendations were developed as part of the project "I Know. I Can. I Practice: strengthening women's initiatives to prevent and respond to gender-based violence in local communities during armed conflict." The project is led by the Ukrainian Coalition of Non-Governmental Organizations to Combat Human Trafficking, in partnership with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA).

In 2018, the IRC assisted over 120,000 Syrian refugees and low-income Jordanians to access healthcare, protection, education and income generation opportunities. One of the recent changes that IRC staff have noticed is that Syrian women are taking on more of an income earning role than was the norm back in Syria and that this is creating changes in household dynamics.

Across 2022 and 2023, the IRC in Atlanta’s Immigration and Legal Services team, in partnership with the expert staff at Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network (GAIN) and many generous and dedicated volunteers, hosted 12 pro se legal clinics to assist Afghan humanitarian parolees to apply for asylum and/or Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

Rosine and Carine were just 15 years old when they were abducted, raped and forced to marry soldiers. They bravely share their stories in hope that they will raise awareness of the need to do more to protect children in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The right to work is a protected human right under international law, and yet it remains controversial in many refugee hosting countries.

The IRC conducted a multi-sector needs assessment in 2024, covering the sectors of Protection, Health, Education and Economic Wellbeing, to identify key needs to support humanitarian program design in the coming period. Findings show that humanitarian needs are at an all time high, particularly impacted by shifts in the context in 2023, including the earthquake in Turkiye and the highest levels of violence seen across northern Syria since 2020. Millions of individuals continue to be unable to meet their basic needs.
