| description |
The countries of East Asia and the
Pacific (EAP) are among the most vulnerable in the world to
the physical, social, and economic effects of natural
disasters. Disaster impacts are not distributed uniformly
within a population. Due to existing socio-economic
conditions, cultural beliefs and traditional practices,
women and men are affected differently. In many cases, the
mortality rates for women in the aftermath of a disaster are
much higher than those of men. For example, women
represented an estimated 61 percent of fatalities in Myanmar
after Cyclone Nargis in 2008, 70 percent after the 2004
Indian Ocean Tsunami in Banda Aceh, and 91 percent after
Cyclone Gorky in Bangladesh in 1991. Failure to consider the
different impact disaster have on women and men are likely
to lead to overlooking the true costs of disasters and
making disaster risk management (DRM) support less
effective. Gender-blind responses can also reinforce,
perpetuate and increase existing gender inequalities, making
bad situations worse for women and other vulnerable groups.
To make DRM effective, therefore, it is essential that both
women and men's voices and needs are integrated on
equal terms men in the design and implementation of DRM
programs. To address key issues and bottlenecks for
mainstreaming gender issues into disaster risk management
projects; and to help teams design and implement gender
dimensions into disaster risk management work, the
infrastructure and social development groups of the World
Bank's Sustainable Development Department in the East
Asia and Pacific region have jointly produced a set of
operationally relevant guidance notes for World Bank staff,
clients and development partners. Grounded in extensive
field work in Lao PDR and Vietnam, and drawing on the
significant amount of material already available, these
notes aim to condense a number of complex issues and themes
to provide 'first stop' practical information. |
