70 years of DRC is also a story of the people behind our work. For 15 of those years, Line Brylle has worked to advance peacebuilding across countries and regions.

Her reflection?

“You have to imagine another future.”

In 1956, DRC began as an emergency response for Hungarian refugees arriving in Denmark. As we approach our 70th anniversary on 30 November, we’re looking back at the story of how it all began.

Idrees fled Taiz's Jabal Sabir frontline with only the clothes he wore, leaving behind the tools of his trade as an aluminium fabricator. Unconditional cash assistance funded by @eu_echo let him replace them — and cover his medication.

Safaa fled Taiz for Lahj with nothing, and had to pull her sons from school when her husband's spinal injury cost the family its only income. Cash assistance funded by @eu_echo, then an EU-funded tailoring grant, got them all back in school. Website link #EUHumanitarianAid

Displaced from Taiz, "Fatima" once fed her children first and went hungry herself. Cash assistance funded by @eu_echo paid the rent. A livelihoods grant bought her an oven. Today her pastries supply shops across Tuban district.

DRC regrets today’s Ministerial commitment to establish return hubs for rejected asylum seekers. Such hubs risk weakening rights, creating legal limbo, and limiting access to essential services. States must manage migration while upholding human rights.
