Women's Refugee Commission

WRC advocates for humanitarian response to move from short-term aid based on needs, such as handing out food and blankets, to long-term solutions that leverage the skills and capacities of women and youth so that they are better set to achieve sustainable economic and personal success.

We work in partnership with displaced communities to research their needs, identify solutions, and advocate for gender-transformative and sustained improvement in humanitarian, development, and displacement policy and practice.

Our vision is a world where all people displaced by conflict or crisis are welcomed with dignity; are safe, healthy, and self-reliant; have their human rights and agency respected; and get the support and resources they need to rebuild their lives.
