Understanding how disasters affect people differently depending on gender and other aspects of their identity is a critical starting point for emergency response. So, too, is recognising and valuing the extent and worth of the contribution of women and girls to the survival of households and communities in the aftermath of disasters. The articles in this issue share experiences and learning from a wide range of post-disaster contexts, bear witness to the great strides that have been made in incorporating a gender perspective into disaster responses, and highlight the areas where more needs to be done to ensure that women's rights are supported, and gender equality promoted. |
