Nathalie Elam is an MSW graduate student at the University of Washington and is also currently enrolled in the Graduate Certificate of Global Health program. They are currently fulfilling their practicum hours as a WARN Advocate Intern and providing case management services to survivors of human trafficking at the IRC in Seattle.

This report presents findings from IRC’s Safe at Home LGBTQI Scoping Study on experiences of discrimination, exclusion, and violence against LGBTQI people in humanitarian contexts.

The IRC is training Iraqis who were forced from their homes by ISIS as community representatives who can advocate for the needs of their neighbors in the camps where they've been displaced.

For more than 20 years, the IRC has been breaking down barriers that prevent gender-based violence survivors from disclosing violence and seeking services. We continue to work in areas that need it the most, which are characterized by insecurity, displacement and weak health systems.
