Sponsor: Gender Responsive Resilience and Intersectionality In Policy and Practice

 

This research project was guided by the comprehension that disaster interventions cannot be gender-neutral or gender-apathetic. Therefore, underlying knowledge and knowledge production must become gender-aware and cognizant of gender differentials that contribute to excessive disaster mortality and losses of women, girl children, gender minorities and a range of identities across the gender and LGBTQI+ spectrum. Hence, higher education in the areas of Disaster Management and allied disciplines such as Climate Change and Sustainability Studies must work towards strengthening perspectives on gender and social inclusion as well as perspectives on intersectionality within such curricular.
