I built this lens to help the International Rescue Committee
You can help, too. Build your own lens to support the International Rescue Committee at the IRC Squidoo Headquarters, learn more about their work the the IRC's website, or sign a petition urging Congress to fund more programs designed to stop rape and other kinds of violence against women and girls.
You can build a lens about stopping violence against women, about the Congo or Darfur or about the Iraqi refugee situation. Every lens you build will generate money for the IRC mission through ads and clicks to sites like Amazon, Cafepress and ebay.

This is your space to write -- and remember to write over these instructions so that they don't become part of your lens...

Get to Know the International Rescue Committee
One of the first to respond, one of the last to leave. For more than 70 years, the International Rescue Committee has been a leader in humanitarian relief. We mobilize quickly, bringing sustained support to regions torn apart by violence and deprivation. We provide a fresh start in the U.S. for refugees. And we advocate tirelessly on behalf of the displaced, addressing the root causes of violence and standing up for the world's most vulnerable populations.
