Over 10 years ago when I joined the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Women & Girls work was one of several, separate programmatic areas. We analyzed this and quickly realized the needs of women and girls cannot be siloed to their own pillar. They must be a lens through which we approach all our work. There are 150 million more women facing food insecurity than men. I’ve visited dozens of our health programs, and I’ve only ever met one man accompanying a baby at a nutrition stabilization center. It’s always women. I go to our clinics and there are so many more girls than boys being treated for malnutrition because boys get fed first. Health is a women & girls issue. Last year, I went and met with our female staff members in Afghanistan after the government ban on women working in NGOs. We have 5,000 people working for us in 12 provinces—2,200 of them are women. Despite the ban, these women are a lifeline for clients to feel safe receiving services and an economic lifeline for the many women who are the sole sources of income for their families. The restrictions on women and girls produce an economic loss of up to $1 billion—about 5% of Afghanistan’s GDP. Economy Recovery & Development is women & girls issue. Over 450 million women and girls live in the world’s most fragile contexts. Not only are the needs immense, but for women and girls, the needs are exacerbated by the inequalities they face because of their gender. Women and girls are the most vulnerable of an already vulnerable and crisis affected population. Today at the IRC we have five technical pillars—Economic Recovery & Development, Education, Governance, Health, and Violence Prevention & Response—and it is our responsibility to work to break down the unique barriers facing women and girls in each of these areas.

Our Youth Services Coordinator, Emma Stotlemyer shares some valuable career tips below! ⤵️⤵️ #LifeAtIRC
With just over a year and a half in my position as the Youth Services Coordinator at the International Rescue Committee, I have been reflecting on some things I have learned that I wish I knew at the start of my career! 1. Data: Nothing gets done without data! Shout out to Alex Laywell for introducing me to the importance of data collection and tracking. If I want to propose change or improve services, I need data to prove what our clients needs are. 2. Leadership: Promotions and high positions do not qualify me as a leader but how I empathize, trust my staff and exemplify the IRCs mission and values do. 3. Advocacy: Advocacy is not only an external struggle but can be internal too. I have learned that I sometimes have to advocate more for my clients to HQ/SLT, funders and other departments than within the community. 4. Mentorship: Find a person in the office you admire and learn from them. I learned to ask for advice often and be open to feedback. Rachel Worley has been instramental in pushing me to learn, grow and achieve more than I thought I could! I am so grateful for my team, my supervisors and my coworkers turned friends who have supported and encouraged me so far. I am excited to see what the future hold and the growth that is coming! #refugee #resettlement #youthprogramming #yayyouth!
Congratulations on 1 year Sviatoslav Rodiuk! Here's to many more 🎉 #LifeAtIRC
One year with the International Rescue Committee 💛 It's an incredible journey filled with new connections, events, and the honor of being part of an amazing team that makes an impact every day. Together, we've achieved so much: creating fantastic content collections in the fields, international media visits, and successfully partnering with top Ukrainian media outlets. We invited the IRC Ambassador, a Hollywood star, to Ukraine to meet our team and engage with our clients. Finally, we launched our Ukrainian Facebook page, which has already gained over 5,000 subscribers in just two months! And this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more! A big hug to the amazing team that made all of this possible: Тамара Кіптенко Joanna Nahorska Weronika Rzeżutka-Wróblewska 🫂

#IRC_Insiders 🤝 Jede Woche berichten Mitarbeitende von IRC von ihrer Arbeit und erzählen, wie es ist, Teil unseres Teams zu sein. Heute mit Loona A., die als Studentische Aushilfe für RAI bei IRC arbeitet. Wer bist du und welche Rolle hast du derzeit bei IRC? 💛 Mein Name ist Loona, ich komme aus Berlin und bin seit August 2023 als studentische Mitarbeiterin im Bildungsteam bei IRC tätig. Dabei bin ich im Projekt „Healing Classrooms“ vor allem für den Versand der Bildungsmaterialien zuständig und für das Gestalten des Healing Classrooms Newsletters. Wie bist du zu deiner jetzigen Position gekommen? 💛 Als Politik-Studentin war ich bestrebt, erste Arbeitserfahrung zu sammeln und stieß auf meine jetzige Stelle beim IRC über Indeed. Nach meiner Bewerbung und einem anschließenden Gespräch wurde mir schnell klar, wie sehr meine persönlichen Ziele zur Arbeit im Bildungsteam passen, das den Healing-Classrooms-Ansatz verfolgt. Da ich als Person mit Migrationshintergrund selbst die Herausforderungen im deutschen Bildungssystem erlebt habe, liegt mir diese Thematik sehr am Herzen. IRCs Ansatz, eine sichere Lernumgebung für geflüchtete Kinder zu schaffen und ihre Resilienz zu stärken, beeindruckt mich zutiefst. Ich glaube fest daran, dass Bildung ein grundlegendes Menschenrecht ist und jedem Kind eine faire Chance bieten sollte. Ich möchte aktiv dazu beitragen, das Bildungssystem inklusiver und zugänglicher für alle zu gestalten und bin deshalb überzeugt, beim IRC an der richtigen Stelle zu sein. Wie waren deine ersten Wochen und Monate bei IRC? 💛 Die ersten Wochen bei IRC waren für mich äußerst spannend und aufregend. Ich wurde von meinen Kolleg*innen sehr herzlich empfangen, und die Einarbeitung verlief reibungslos. Dennoch war es zunächst etwas überfordernd, mit dem gesamten Arbeitsaufwand Schritt zu halten. Glücklicherweise erhielt ich viel Unterstützung, sodass ich allmählich eigenständiger arbeiten konnte. Wie würdest du die Arbeitsatmosphäre bei IRC beschreiben? 💛 Die Arbeitsatmosphäre bei IRC ist sehr angenehm und unterstützend. Ich schätze besonders die Flexibilität in der Arbeitsgestaltung. Zusätzlich bietet IRC eine Vielzahl von Benefits für Mitarbeiter*innen, die besonders für Studierende attraktiv sein könnten. Dazu gehört beispielsweise eine Mitgliedschaft beim Urban Sports Club. In meiner beruflichen Laufbahn habe ich selten eine so großzügige Ausstattung an Benefits wie hier erlebt und bin sehr dankbar dafür.

Meet April Somboun, an education, research, and innovation officer on the IRC's Airbel Impact Lab team. She has been with the IRC for nearly two years and has a profound personal resonance and commitment to the IRC's mission, grounded in her Laotian immigrant roots. "When some people think of the IRC, they think of humanitarian aid, like water, food, cash assistance, etc. But what people may not know is that we're also doing other projects behind the scenes to create solutions for those we serve in crises affected areas.” Delve deeper into her story here: https://lnkd.in/eXNM8pts #LifeAtIRC
