description |
Violence against women and girls (VAWG)
has negative impacts on physical and mental health. Health
care settings provide a unique opportunity to identify VAWG
survivors, provide critical support services, and prevent
future harm. Ample studies have shown that natural
disasters, including tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and
floods, disproportionately affect women and girls, who are
at greater risk of violence and exploitation than men and
boys in the face of uprooted housing and traditional support
structures, disrupted access to services, and both
structural and social obstacles to accessing food, relief,
supplies, and latrines. A study conducted four years after
Hurricane Katrina occurred in the United States found that
the rate of new cases of VAWG among displaced women also
increased and did not return to the pre-hurricane baseline
during the protracted phase of displacement. |
