Every day around the world, women are fighting to survive violence, inequality, poverty and disease.

When war and disaster stack the odds against them, women find the strength not just to struggle on, but to succeed. Nothing is more vital than what they are fighting for: their families and their own fiercely held dignity.

During March, International Women's Month, we honour women and celebrate their victories. And women are winning, amid the worst crises, where the IRC gives them the tools they need to heal, to support themselves, and to bravely and boldly re-imagine their futures and rebuild their communities.
