Mission and Vision
DRC’s mission is to assist refugees and the displaced, protect their rights, and empower them towards a better future. The organization envisions a world where all displaced individuals can lead dignified lives, free from persecution and with access to lasting solutions.
Core Activities
- Protection and Advocacy: DRC actively works to safeguard the rights of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), providing legal assistance and advocating for policies that uphold human rights.
- Emergency Response: In crisis situations, DRC delivers immediate relief, including food, shelter, and medical assistance, to alleviate the suffering of those affected.
- Durable Solutions: The organization promotes long-term solutions such as voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement, enabling displaced individuals to rebuild their lives.
- Mine Action: Through its specialized unit, the Danish Demining Group, DRC engages in demining activities to ensure safe environments for communities recovering from conflict.
Global Presence
With a workforce of approximately 9,000 employees, DRC operates across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The organization collaborates with local communities, governments, and other humanitarian agencies to implement programs tailored to the specific needs of displaced populations.
Recent Developments
In February 2025, DRC announced plans to lay off around 2,000 staff members due to the suspension of U.S. aid funding. This decision underscores the challenges faced by humanitarian organizations amid shifting political landscapes and funding uncertainties.
Despite these challenges, the Danish Refugee Council remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting displaced individuals, continually adapting its strategies to meet evolving global needs.
