Violence isn’t the only thing forcing people to flee their country. Climate change severely affects millions of people, like refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs), and their communities. Women and children, like Iqra and her baby, are typically the most at risk.

In October of last year, the rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo opened fire in the community of Rugari, forcing 520,000 people to flee their homes.
