Gender in Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation in the Pacific

Abstract:

Why is Gender important in DRM/ACC in the Pacific ?

  • women, men, girls and boys vary in exposure to hazards and ability to respond
  • men and women are differently affected by hazards and disasters
  • men and women have different skills and knowledge stemming from gendered divisions of labour present in non disaster periods (e.g. management of natural resources)
