This study contributes to the broader
literature demonstrating the devastating impact of floods on
the poor, particularly women, making it very difficult to
move out of poverty. Research on flood impacts in low-income
communities in Buenos Aires found that most first responders
to floods are women and it is them who assume leadership
roles in high-risk situations, despite the serious gender
gaps in education and economic opportunities they face. They
are also affected differently and more adversely than their
male peers, bearing primary responsibility for restoring
their family’s housing and livelihoods after the flood, and
for household chores and care duties for children and older
adults. The results of this analysis can help decision
makers design gender-inclusive approaches for flood risk
management, promoting and empowering women as positive
agents of change. Gender gap analysis is essential to
prevent existing inequalities from being maintained or
accentuated as a part of the recovery process. |
