What is the Rescue Collective? Rescue Collective is a community of donors and action-takers within the International Rescue Committee, who support refugees and displaced families affected by humanitarian crises to regain their safety, health, education, economic wellbeing, and power.

The Violence, Prevention and Response (VPR) unit implements programming that prevents violence against women, children, especially girls, and other vulnerable groups, and responds to it when it does occur.
