Join us on May 1st for a special screening of Angels Are Made of Light, a documentary following school-aged children in Kabul, Afghanistan, with guest speaker and IRC client, Farahnaz Anwari, who taught in Afghan conflict zones for nearly 20 years.

Between October 2024 and March 2025, the IRC’s protection monitoring in Anbar, Kirkuk, and Ninewa identified ongoing challenges for IDPs, returnees, and host communities. Key issues included access to essential services, civil documentation gaps, child protection risks, and emerging vulnerabilities related to climate change.

Learn about the IRC in Seattle’s new Gender Equity & Family Wellness initiative focused on improving gender equity across all IRC programs, as well as providing specialized support to women, their families, and LGBTQ refugees & immigrants.
