Job Description Background The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life- changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries, the IRC aims to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure.
In response to the increased refugee arrivals into Europe, the IRC established the program initially in Greece, which was expanded with programs in Serbia and wider Balkans and with programs in Germany. Following two assessments conducted in 2017, several critical protection gaps were identified within assistance provided to refugees in migrants in Italy: mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), assistance to unaccompanied children, information provision and legal support.
To respond to the identified gaps, IRC established a small presence in Italy which has significantly grown over the past 8 years. Programs in Italy currently include web-based information platform, protection programming targeting people arriving in Trieste through the Balkan route, initiatives aiming to the socio-economic inclusion of refugee youth and women, and educational projects (social emotional learning and healing classrooms).Purpose
