CONSIDER REPORT FOR GIRLS AND
YOUNG WOMEN.
Direct Link to Report:
"A better understanding of the
roles and responsibilities of children in disasters is long overdue. Increased
recognition among emergency specialists that 'women and children are largely
untapped resources in disaster response' has led to an increased focus on
gender issues in emergencies, and particularly the impact on women's
lives.".....
"Although children and young
people have less social (and often physical) power, their contributions in
emergencies are significant and crucial to the surival of their families and
communities."
