About Us
Who are the affiliates of the Women's Refugee Commission?
The Women's Refugee Commission is affiliated with and is legally part of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and does not receive direct financial support from the IRC. We also house the Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict, a global network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that works to stop acts of violence against children in armed conflict and to protect the rights of children.
