Right now, as war and violent conflict rages around the world, people just like you are running—
for their lives, their families, their dignity and freedom; for the chance to speak freely, to hold a loved one again, to create a better future for their children. They often have to leave everything behind. And they leave with nothing but their hope, courage, and determination. They are refugees.

For over 75 years, the IRC has been responding to the world's worst crises. Meet some of our extended family of refugees, staff, leaders and supporters.
