| description |
Men and women, boys and girls have
different experiences of disasters. Gender dynamics impact
both the way they are affected by disasters and their
capacity to withstand and recover from them. Gender
inequalities can result in gender-differentiated disaster
impact, and differentiated impacts can influence gender
dynamics, which in turn affect future resilience to shocks.
Disaster risk management policies are designed to maximize
results, taking local conditions - including gender dynamics
- as fixed. When women and men are affected differently by
disasters, practitioners and policy makers have a
responsibility to use the tools available for mitigating
disaster impacts to close gender gaps in outcome. An
improved understanding of the gender dynamics of disaster
risk and resilience also allows for better policy and
program design, which benefits all stakeholders. |
