23. Women's Refugee Commission

There are currently more than 42 million refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) worldwide who have been displaced by conflict. Of these, 80% are women, children and young people and 26 million are IDPs. Every year, between 10 million and 40 million people are displaced by natural disasters.

Through research and fact-finding field missions, we identify critical problems that affect displaced women, children and young people, including gaps in lifesaving reproductive health care, lack of dignified livelihoods for refugees and, in the U.S., the treatment of asylum-seekers.

We document best practices and propose solutions, and develop innovative tools to improve the way humanitarian assistance is delivered in refugee settings. On Capitol Hill, at the United Nations and with humanitarian organizations, governments and donors, we push for improvements in refugee policy and practice until measurable long-term change is realized
