The organization seeks to identify problems that affect displaced women, children, and youth. These include gaps in lifesaving reproductive health care, lack of dignified livelihoods for refugees, and, in the United States, the treatment of people seeking asylum. The Women's Refugee Commission documents practices, proposes solutions, and develops tools to improve the way humanitarian assistance is delivered in refugee settings. On Capitol Hill, at the United Nations as well as with humanitarian organizations, governments and donors, the organization pushes for improvements in refugee policy and practice.
