The country is facing an economic and hunger crisis that could kill more people than the past twenty years of war.

Ritiek (Reh - teek), her mom, and her younger sister were one of the many families forced to flee Afghanistan in 1995. Four years later, they were welcomed in Tucson, Arizona in the summer of 1999. She and her family were the first Afghan refugees to be resettled in Tucson, Arizona. 

There are many ways to get involved with the IRC's work in San Diego.

Help refugees and immigrants in their journey from harm to home by making a gift to the IRC in Boise on Idaho Gives Day, May 2.

Up to 200 asylum-seekers, many of them women and children, arrive in Arizona every day. The IRC, along with partner organizations, is providing emergency assistance to help these families connect with their loved ones in the United States. Help us make asylum seekers welcome by donating or volunteering today!

Thank you for supporting refugees in Dallas this North Texas Giving Day.

Violence against women and girls is a global problem of epidemic proportions. Evidence shows that over one-third of women and girls globally will experience some form of violence in their lifetime. Regardless of where they live, their religion or culture, or what stage of life they are in, each is a target of violence specifically because of her gender and the gender discrimination that persists globally.

Strategy100 is a strategic plan that provides a north star for the IRC's programs, our research, and our voice. We will deliver it in partnership with the people we serve and the local communities in which we work.
