After fleeing South Sudan to Uganda, Grace Awate is now a leader in her community, acting as the head of her village’s IRC-supported women and girls’ center where she helps empower women to become financially independent.

Nicole Sanchez began her internship in the summer of last year with the Intensive Case Management (ICM) program at the IRC in Phoenix. At the International Rescue Committee (IRC), interns play an important role in offering support to our program teams and clients while advancing our mission.

The IRC is a global leader in transforming the lives of women and girls, and our Gender Equality Unit is dedicated to ensuring that all of our program outcomes are achieved equally by men and women, boys and girls, in the communities that we work.
