Join us ONLINE for IRC's Refugee Film Festival. Each screening is followed by a Q&A discussion with an expert on the film’s subject area.

The world is witnessing the largest movement of refugees since the upheavals of World War II. Here’s a look at how the IRC is providing aid to thousands fleeing to Europe.

Every year on World Refugee Day, the United Nations releases the updated number of individuals displaced around the world by conflict, disaster and persecution. In 2024, more than 100 million individuals are forcibly displaced from their homes.

Join us for the 2021 Refugee Film Festival -- from the comfort of your home! This year we will be featuring four award-winning films screenings, each followed by a Q&A discussion with an expert.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Salt Lake City has dedicated the past two years to helping over 600 Afghan evacuees resettle to Utah after fleeing upheaval in Afghanistan at the end of 2021. The Hilal family is one among the many families who graduated from the IRC programs. Ayazudin and his wife came to the United States with their six kids. They remember packing their life into just four bags and escaping to the U.S. with $100 total in their pockets.

The results of the IRC’s research suggest that expansion of socially-minded consumer financing paired with financial education, and other asset-building programs, could help more low-income families achieve financial stability and at the same time reduce the risks the current subprime auto loan market represents to the overall U.S. economy.
