Meet Leane: Social worker, world traveler, community advocate & IRC Anti-Trafficking Intern

IRC and partners are continuing to make an impact for low income refugee families as they experience job loss, food insecurity and isolation.

During these unprecedented times, Florida communities, stretching from Tallahassee to Miami, continue supporting refugees, survivors of human trafficking and immigrant youth. It takes all of us—volunteers, clients, donors, employees and community partners—to maintain our 60-year legacy of welcoming and uplifting the voices of our resilient clients.

Our work in Afghanistan, which has from the start spanned “the arc of crisis” from conflict to resettlement, has never been more urgent and crucial.

Escalated violence in their native Burundi forced them to flee. For pregnant women, the increased uncertainty for the future is all the more stressful.

Every year, millions of people become victims of human trafficking. Here in Northern California, the IRC offers support to survivors and resources to overcome labor and sex trafficking.
